Hello all,
My tech team ran 6-months of updates in computer labs for our community college. The computer labs are under group policies for printer, drive mapping, and other policies that are pushed down to the workstations. These are locked workstations (Faronics DeepFreeze) hence there were 6-months of updates.
Since those updates were ran, the workstations cannot print to the printers. The group policies still work has the printer and drive mappings are present. I can open documents from the shares. However, you send a print job and it disappears. Try to print a test page and get a message stating it has failed. The MS troubleshooter does swat.
My network admin is able to print a test page from the server. I tried unjoining and then rejoin the domain, but nothing. I tried System Restore, but it hosed the workstation (blue screen). Safe Mode and Repair did not do a thing.
I know it is the updates because we found a PC that the updates were not ran. It is in a lab that cannot print. I tested it and it can print.
I am resorting to running one Windows update at a time. But there is no guarantee that it will resolve this issue.
Anyone experienced this issue or have advice? Your input would be greatly appreciated.
