Deleted printers keeps coming back - and multiply
- by MojoDK
My users are on 2012 R2 RDS Session Host servers.
I've used "Deploy Printers" (from Print Manager) to deploy 4 printers. The last week, I've had a lot of problems where users can't print. If I deleted the printer and added it again, they could print just fine.
Now I've removed all printer deploying from GPO - and I have no printers in any login scripts. I did a gpupdate /force, but all the 4 printers are now listed 3 times...
If I delete the printers and log off and back on, all the printers are popping up again. Sigh! This is driving me nuts.
This script doesn't show any of the "SVFREJA" printers...
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2")
Set colPrinters = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * From Win32_Printer")
If colPrinters.Count <> 0 Then 'If there are some network printers
Dim s
s = ""
For Each objPrinterInstalled In colPrinters ' For each network printer
s = s + objPrinterInstalled.Name + chr(13)
Next
msgbox s
End if
It gives me this result...
(sry for the big picture)
My problem is not with the "redirected" printers, my problem is that I have several printers with the same name (on SVFREJA) and I can't get rid of them.
Any idea why I can't get rid of the "ophaned" printers??
