Printer doesn't appear
-
@Matthieu-Jacquart It could be that the version on the machine is old enough that it doesn’t understand how to update correctly anymore. @jbob has made some major changes with 0.10.x as it is now cross platform. If this is a single machine I would just reinstall the client if it is more, than you may need to push an install some other way.
@jbob might have a better answer though.
-
Log off and log back in. Likely the printer got removed. You might want to reboot if log off doesn’t work. If issue is still present I don’t know.
-
@Tom-Elliott I log off/reboot several times, on different computer having same problem, no change, client is still in 0.9.10.
After reinstalling last client at hand, same problem, printer didn’t appear…--------------------------------PrinterManager-------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 25/05/2016 14:29 Client-Info Client Version: 0.10.6 25/05/2016 14:29 Client-Info Client OS: Windows 25/05/2016 14:29 Client-Info Server Version: 7843 25/05/2016 14:29 Middleware::Response Success 25/05/2016 14:29 Printer Removing printer: \\impression\s101laser1 25/05/2016 14:30 PrinterManager Adding printers 25/05/2016 14:30 PrinterManager \\impression\s109laser1 already exists ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@Matthieu-Jacquart To my understand, and @jbob please feel free correct any mistakes.
Printers are installed with the client via the SYSTEM account. Default printers are setup on a per user basis (as defaults can be whatever people want to use, though next cycle will likely adjust the default based on what’s in the settings).
Because of the way the printer is installed, if ANY other user has installed the printer under their profile, the port has already been created. Therefore, it can’t add the printer because it would “already exist”.
Please verify if this is the case.
get-WmiObject -class Win32_printer >> c:\printers.txt
Upload the C:\printers.txt file this generates.
With any luck, we’ll see the printer is indeed installed on the system, it’s just unable to associate as a “SYSTEM Wide” printer because a single (maybe more) already installed it.

@Tom-Elliott There’s just this…

@ITSolutions , the FOG client is capable of upgrading from any version. Even the initial release, v0.7.0 can (or at least should) upgrade to 0.10 without issue.
@Matthieu-Jacquart Download and run https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-client/releases/download/0.10.6/PrinterManagerHelper.exe on the computer having this issue. Does the
\\impression\S109Laser1
printer show up in the tool? -

Great information to know, thank you for confirming that. I wasn’t sure, just initial troubleshooting given the information present.

@Jbob Result : Only PDF printer appears (and without defult chekbox !)

v0.11 of the client will fix this issue. What was happening is that since the client is running as SYSTEM, WMI’s win32_printer object was reporting that network printers were added for SYSTEM. Therefore the client did not try to re-add them, despite no other user having them.
-
Sorry Joe but same problem with v0.11 nightly
-
v0.11.0 is released and fixes this issue. Can you test when you have a chance?

@Joe-Schmitt Hi,
Just tried to install it but I’ve got error “unable to install CA certificate”

@Matthieu-Jacquart those logs indicate older versions of the client. It should also be noted, as described the changelog, the new default server address is fogserver, not fog-server. This is for people who transition from the legacy client, where fogserver was also the default.
-
@Joe-Schmitt Oh I didn’t notice the “-”… Try with IP adress, it’s ok for installing new client.
But bad news, after 5 minutes I’ve got this :EDIT : checking on other classroom, on 2 computers, this time printer appears… but 4 times !
-
@Matthieu-Jacquart please upload the entire fog.log from the computer with multiple instances of the same printer.

-
v0.11.1 of the client has been released and addresses this new issue. Can you test when you have a chance?
-
@Joe-Schmitt It’s better but not perfect
-
Those are leftovers from when 0.11.0 messed up. Looking at the logs 0.11.1 is running perfectly. Try adding a different printer / manualy removing this extra ones / unassigning that printer from the host / restarting the computer. (Basically just try any of them).
