@Scott-B hopeful now the sprintf and reference errors are gone. I don’t know if it will fix the problem but at least the errors won’t present an issue.

Below is what I get today when my machine tries to add a printer. It does look like its trying to pull in too many backslashes and Windows isn’t recognizing the unc path.

I pasted in the log but it wouldn’t let me submit, says it was flagging it as spam, so that is a screenshot of my log.

Printers through FOG have stopped auto installing. It will create the ports fine, but never installs the drivers. FOG.log reports the printer has been installed correctly, and only throws and error when setting as default.

The UNC path to the driver files are reachable from the workstation and I can manually install the printer using the port the FOG install created.

Currently on SVN 5044, but it been happening for a few.

Now I am seeing the messages below on the clients fog.log. Additionally the host has lost all its printers.

Are you still having printer issues? I installed the latest SVN and now i am unable to install any printers. In the fog.log I see that it says the printer installed but it also has an error FAILED: it looks like the local printer is missing. Any ideas? Any help would be great

[johnomaz]

@John-L-Clark Yes, the printer issue is still here. I’m about to update to the lastest SVN. I’ve done so the last few days and the issue persists. You can see more of my info on it here https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/5990/printer-issues-continue

@John-l-Clark @Scott-B @Tom-Elliott IT WORKS!!! SVN 5110 Many thanks to Tom and to the other devs for the work done to get this stuff working again.

I lied, it kinda works. Many of my computers have had their printers disappear even though its assigned to the host still. Some computers lost only one or two printers but not all of them. It appears to be an issue with the legacy client. I installed client 0.9.5 on a few machines and the printers pulled just fine. Now I need to find a way to maybe push out 0.9.5 to a small batch of computers and see if it keeps working.

Yes I am still having the issue (SVN 5124). Difference between this reply and the first time I posted this is now instead of making the port then nothing, now it says there are no printers assigned. Which means it actually removes the fog printers that it did have from before this started.

@Scott-B @John-L-Clark I too am experiencing this. Client 0.9.5 works fine but I have 1000+ clients using the legacy client so trying to upgrade that in a short amount of time is impossible. I’m looking to remove the old client and install the new client through a startup script. If that is successful, then I’ll be in a better position but for now, I’m in a nightmare. I’ve disabled the print manager so hopefully no other computers remove all the printers.

@Scott-B

Printer Issue seems resolved in the most recent SVN. Thank you!
