@Bstalker this means something is wrong with WMI. Open powershell as admin on the computer with the issue and run this command:
Get-WmiObject -Query "select * from Win32_Printer"and post the output here. -

@Jbob any thoughts on this based on the output of that powershell? Its not a huge issue on this as it is just a machine I’m using to test this with. I can wipe it and start over, however, I would like to know if there is a solution in the event this happens with a deployed machine. Thanks!
-
@BStalker if you wouldn’t mind, can you download and run “PrinterManagerHelper.exe” from https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-client/releases/tag/0.10.6 on this problem machine? I need to know if it runs and shows all of your printers, or if it throws an error.
-
@Jbob I have some other tasks I have to attend to first, but I should be done with those within the hour and can run the printhelper after. I will let you know the results.

@Jbob
Print Helper Tool ran without errors.

Updated Fog Server today to 7829 and the issue is no longer occurring.
-
I have no idea why it’s fixed, or even why it was broken. @Tom-Elliott did you change anything?
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! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

@Jbob I can only guess from when the mode was sending null.
-
@Jbob @Tom-Elliott
As a note I made no changes to the Client PC. -
@BStalker you didn’t do anything wrong. Just informing what I think the issue was.
-
@Tom-Elliott Just trying to give as much information as possible in case it manages to pop up as in issue in the future for someone else. Thanks for all the help you guys provide!

v0.11 of the client will prevent duplicates. And if it detects duplicates exist, it will clean them up.
