I corrected the problem manually however I'd much rather it not be an issue. Of the affected queues were ones which have been in place for many months. Some of the new queues were affected by the port reassignment, however some

To the best of my knowledge no work had been done to the server aside from my creating a dozen or so new printer queues on Friday afternoon (queues were OK at that time). Some were pointing to other TCP/IP ports, one or two had wound up pointing to LPT1. Most recent occurrence was sometime over this weekend - all printer queues use standard TCP/IP ports and when I logged on and checked port assignments,Ī variety of queues had been randomly shuffled around so they were pointing to different ports. I've had something very similar happen three times with a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard print server. Our stand alone print server doesn't do this, and its the same version (windows server 2008 R2 SP1 Ent). all of our TS boxes that have the pserver role on them randomly change what ports the printers are using. The print server randomly changes ports during the day. Right-click on the Printer and select Properties. once we fixed all the ports, which defeated the purpose of using the tool, Open ControlPanel > Hardware and Sound section > View devices and printers. Now, you would expect that we would have had the same issue with every import, but we didn't each import was different than the last. not only did it change ports around, in some cases it didn't even give the printer a port, or sometimes a port got two printers. Live we found that the export file we created did not import correctly on any of the servers.

So we decided to install the Print Server Role on the TS boxes, which worked well in our test enviornment, however when we went Printers are always getting dropped, it takes a long time for the server to load the printers. You are probably wondering why we haven't used a print server, well we tried and had no luck with Server 2008 stand alone print servers and RDS Windows 10 printer properties doesn't appear to let me change the IP of the port - it is. I have a laser on Ethernet and changed the port number (IP address) in the printer. if I went and looked the actual printers properties, the port selection is there. The scan can be run automatically by schedule, and printer counter & toner level report can be emailed to you daily, weekly or monthly.

All of our terminal servers have the print server role on them with about 70 printers installed on them. I also just checked all the printers, ports are no longer a choice/visible. This software can be installed on a single computer to scan your network and collect printer counter, Ink/toner level, IP address, model, serial number, MAC address.
