Printer Management New Client
-
@Jbob Hi Jbob, I’ve got some trouble with network printers :
- teachers told me that in some classroom, printers is not mapped on all computers. I verified computer configuration, and print service is ok, printer is associated with client, everything seems fine. And fog.log is ok too

- second problem, with client 0.3 and fog 1.2, only printer associated appears on computer. With client 0.9.5 and fog 1.3, students and teachers also see printers of other classroom. They have sometimes 4 or 5 printers, from older connexions, instead of just one.
I used FOG “Managed Printers” parameters, so in theory, I should have the printer associated to the host and local printer (like PDF).
Thanks

I will try and replicate when I have time (may be a week or so depending on when I can get my servers back online). However, if you have time for a teamviewer session where I can access a computer having the issue, send me a PM.

@Jbob One of the printers is most recalcitrant than others and mostly don’t appears on computers, including mine

And on computers, I saw that printers follow users, and this behaviour doesn’t happen with 0.3 client. If you look at picture
There is
- a local printer (PDF), which has to appear on each computer,
- Photocopieur, created by GPO on all user, so that’s ok,
- and 3 ohers printers. But on the 3, only one has to appear, the 2 others are previous printers mapped by fog and normally deleted.
So users have a lot of printers, and only the good ones.
If you want a teamviewer session, I can give you access code by PM

As far as I understand it, the printer management issues describes have been addressed. The problem being described is a bit vague but it seems there may be a configuration issue of one of the printers.
I’ve solved the thread for now but please feel free to post/unsolved with any more details.
