Printer Port?
-
@Joe-Gill Reading this over and over but I don’t really get what you mean. The web UI changed, right? It forces you to set “Printer Port” to be a real number while it used to be just a string. Do I get this?
My only solution so far to updating print drivers on machines is …
What has printer port to do with updating the drivers? Please explain.
-
No problem!
We had a district wide printer refresh. We changed brands of machines which changed the drivers and models we use. I wanted to keep my naming scheme / IP addresses all the same as what the printers were set as. So I just updated the printer INF and Config files in FOG. Than did the following…
This has worked now on multiple machine types with the latest FOG client…
Group Management >> Group >> Printers >>
Set it to Only Assigned Printers
Delete ALL printers
Allow the Hosts to refresh…Set it to Fog Managed Printers
Add back your printers.
Allow the Hosts to refresh…You should be updated now with the latest print drivers.
-
Yes that is correct!
For example…
Old port setting would be X_172_1_1_140
New string would be ??I’ve been setting all of my ports to 0. It just dawned on me that this might not work if more than one printer was installed on the host… << that’s what I’m curious of…

@Joe-Gill Would you mind uploading the full fog-client log of one client where you went through this printer-remove-add-again-scenario?

No problem@!

@Joe-Gill said in Printer Port?:
7/26/2017 12:59 PM Middleware::Response Success
7/26/2017 12:59 PM PrinterManager Adding printers
7/26/2017 12:59 PM PrinterManager Elem Lab already existsThough I don’t see the removal of the printer here (must have been before the start of this log) this portion looks different to what I experienced on my test system. Possibly “Network Printer” and “TCP/IP Port Printer” behave different. Good to know so I don’t get this wrong when trying to fix the “Network Printer” issue.
@Tom-Elliott May you allow string for printers again, please. I looked it up and then remembered that there is a thing called “Port Name” (different to “Port (Number)”) when we talk about printers. See here:
The “Port Name” is just that, a name. Windows defaults to the stringIP_x.x.x.x
.The network port number on the other hand is derived from the field IP by the client. So
x.x.x.x:1234
would be network port 1234 and IP x.x.x.x. If only an IP is specified then the fog-client defaults to network port 9100. Maybe we should make this clear in the web UI as well (hints next to the fields). -
I must have missed some when I copied it… I got a snippet from further up the log. This might help.

@Joe-Gill Thanks again, I just edited your post and stripped it down so I find the important stuff more quickly. Hope you don’t mind.

Not at all! Glad I can help!
-
@Sebastian-Roth should already be allowed again in rc 4
-
Nice, so I am marking this solved (doesn’t need much testing I suppose) and take Joe’s fog-client log information over to the other thread where I work on the client printer stuff.

I just updated to RC4… I’ll keep you all posted! Thanks!
