    Seems to be the : , if i put in just the port with out the : it makes the port and installs. Of course that doesnt prompt to save. As soon as i put in the correct port name with the : i get the generic failure.

      @Roger-Saffle Adding : to a port makes it invalid. There’s nothing the client can do about the user entering a bad port.

        Thanks for the feed back. I am 99.5% Positive it worked with the legacy for printer client. I know i pushed out Cute_PDF printers last year with it.

        as you can see here, Windows does indeed add the : to its default PDF or XPS port name

        Thanks again for the quick reply.

        EDIT: It just dawned on me that maybe I need to do the install as a LOCAL printer? Cuz LPT1: has a : also this video shows adding the : after LPT1 http://freeghost.sourceforge.net/videotutorials/printer.swf Ill try tomorrow and post back.

          Well that didnt work. “Lcoal” is not an option. So how would I even add a printer to LPT1: or File: since they both have : in them?

            @Roger-Saffle PDFCreator seems to use a printer port without :, so that might be worth checking out.

              @Quazz do you use pdfcreator? Do you have a link. I tried a couple called PDFcreator. 1 had : in the ports, the other set off my AnitVirus.

                @Roger-Saffle You can get it through Ninite. Creates a port called pdfcmon

                I have not tested printer managing any of that though, but it might be worth a shot.

                  For the client not to remove a printer, only the name has to match whats on the server. So if you have some printer installed, (e.g. cutepdf), just make a printer on fog with the same name.

                    @Jbob Thanks a million! That worked. Just made sure CutePDF was on the image, then made a printer with the same name in fog, and BOOM fog kept the printer and did not delete it.

                      @Jbob said in Adobe or Cute PDF printer:

                      For the client not to remove a printer, only the name has to match whats on the server. So if you have some printer installed, (e.g. cutepdf), just make a printer on fog with the same name.

                        We need a wiki article on Printer Management.
