      I am having issue with Fixup to 1.3.0-RC-5
      fog log shows printer has been installed and if you print something it is there but if you look in Devices and printers the printer is not in there. Don’t know if this is a bug or not
      And i have rebooted many times…

      thanks

        Raymond had the same issue I had, I remoted in via join.me and did the same troubleshooting steps that Joe instructed me to do. It gave a driver error. We swapped out the driver for another and it worked. We did some tests with removing the printer via fog and re-adding it, both were successful…

        Unlike my work, Raymond has copied all drivers he needs to the local c:\ drive, in a hidden folder. This appears to be working, but there was simply an issue with one of the specified drivers. It could have been something as simple as a typo, or an incompatible driver, or bad arch or something, not sure. At work, we are successfully using a anonymous read share to distribute drivers now and it’s working, and this problematic printer Raymond has is now also working.

        using the printer manager helper is the first way to troubleshoot a printer deployment issue. It’s got a 2nd tab at the top for adding a printer. Just plug in the settings you have for the fog printer, and hit add. It’ll either work or throw an error which will guide you to a solution.

        Here is the link to the printer manager helper, you will want to use the version corresponding to the fog client version you’re using:

          Pinging @joe-schmitt about this.

          In the mean time, give us a screenshot of this host’s printer settings (in the fog web ui), and give us a screenshot of this particular printer’s settings (in the fog web ui).

            Have you tried unassigning the printers, letting fog client remove them, and then reassigning them?

                So i disabled the printer and let it sit
                Then enable the printer and this is what fog log says

                FYI this is another computer doing same thing

                Going to try to disable reboot then enable and reboot and see
                But it will be a few min before i can get to it

                          @Raymond-Bell Check if the port already exists locally, it’d be the IP or some WDS stuff. If it already exists, try deleting it.

                            Its odd that you can print to it but its not showing. Try looking into this issue elsewhere. A quick Google on my part showed this wasn’t FOG specific. People have issues where it won’t show in the device list but can still be printed to.

                                Ok so i disabled the printer
                                deleted all printer ip port
                                rebooted
                                added printer back in fog ui
                                check fog log and see this

                                EDIT: I am able to add the printer manually and it shows up fine

                                  That means the printer configuration is bad.

                                    @Joe-Schmitt But it is the same as it always has been

                                    I am looking in the reg to see if something in there may be the issue

                                      I’m on 1.3.0 RC-6 with client 0.11.4 and having the exact same issue described here.

                                      The log says printers are already configured, but two of them (AV Room and Teacher’s lounge) are not appearing on this particular computer. The other printer that is configured for this computer appears fine and works.

                                      Here’s a log.
                                      0_1470402284852_fog.log

                                      I’m going to go do more investigating.

                                        Further, the exact same two printers that are not appearing on the computer in that log, they are appearing on my desktop computer and I can print to them just fine. So it’s not an incorrect printer configuration.
                                        Here’s the log from my computer.

                                          Are these all TCP/IP printers?

                                            @Joe-Schmitt said in Printer not showing in Devices - Fixup to 1.3.0-RC-5:

                                            Are these all TCP/IP printers?

                                            Yes, they are.

                                            With Joe’s guidance, I used the printer manager helper to invaluably troubleshoot the printer issue, by using it to add the printer to the computer. It gave a message saying the right driver couldn’t be found.

                                            I then setup an anonymous read share on the server, stuck the drivers in it, pointed the fog printer to the exact .inf file, and it worked.

                                            I feel the printer manager helper should be added to the downloads list in the fog UI as a utility.

                                              Funny thing is it works fine on most all computer just not on a couple.
                                              And i even change the driver and still can not get it to work even after deleting computer from fog and image and add printer back to it

                                              here is the log file
                                              0_1470414434028_fog.log
