    Hi,

    i tried to link a client to print-server with FOG-Client.
    Installed a Windows Server 2012R2 with Printermanagement, setup a simple Printer (shared -> \server\printer1)

    In FOG-GUI -> Printer Managment -> Create new Printer -> Network-Printer -> inserted Path to Printer “\server\printer1”
    Added Printer to Host, and Host-LOG means:

    FOG::PrinterManager Failed: it looks like the local printer is missing.

    Fog-Client should create this printer so why the printer missing, so this error is not very helpful… or iam wrong? ó.Ò
    Have searched in wiki (https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Managing_FOG#Group_Printers), but the videotutorial is down or wrong linked… =/

    Regards,
    confused cotec 😵

      While I haven’t deployed printers using FOG. I did notice that your UNC path is not correct. This may be just a type-o but it appears twice in your post (“\server\printer1”). A correct unc path should start with a double backslash so the target system knows its not local

      i.e.

      \\server\printer1
      

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

        I think the forums are escaping the first \ in the case double slashes.

        Your approach to display:

        \\server\printer1
        

        is correct.

        THis is how it shows with double slashes but not in code statement:

        \server\printer1

        Another way to display it within the text without code would be to escape both slashes with a slash essentially making it as:

        \\server\printer1

        and in code statement it’s read as:

        \\\\server\printer1

          @Tom-Elliott One might think if you had to escape the first double slash you would have to do it for all like such:

          \\\\server\\printer1
          

          Sometimes you see things like this escaped in the registry but its not very common now on the windows side.

                @cotec I am pretty sure this issue was solved: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/5990/printer-issues-continue

                Please make sure you update to the latest version (FOG and FOG client) and try again.
