Printer doesn't appear

[Joe Schmitt]

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.

[Matthieu Jacquart]

Sorry Joe but same problem with v0.11 nightly

[Joe Schmitt]

v0.11.0 is released and fixes this issue. Can you test when you have a chance?

[Matthieu Jacquart]

@Joe-Schmitt Hi,

Just tried to install it but I’ve got error “unable to install CA certificate”

And in fog.log

@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.

[Matthieu Jacquart]

@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 !

[Joe Schmitt]

@Matthieu-Jacquart please upload the entire fog.log from the computer with multiple instances of the same printer.

[Joe Schmitt]

v0.11.1 of the client has been released and addresses this new issue. Can you test when you have a chance?

[Matthieu Jacquart]

@Joe-Schmitt It’s better but not perfect

0_1466576917398_fog.log

[Joe Schmitt]

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).

[Matthieu Jacquart]

@Joe-Schmitt Ok, I removed multiple printers from client, change printer in fog for this client (remove S081Laser1 and add S072Laser1), reboot client, and I’ve got this :

[Joe Schmitt]

That means windows couldn’t add your network printer. Are you sure you can even add it manually?

[Matthieu Jacquart]

@Joe-Schmitt OK OK ! My fault, I made modifications on my print server and had to reboot it.
After server reboot everything seems fine

[Joe Schmitt]

Does this mean we can finally mark this thread as solved?

[Matthieu Jacquart]

@Joe-Schmitt Euh, I don’t know, I just made change on client, I remove S072Laser1 to add S081Laser1, and there’s the result : still 3 times S081Laser1 and S072LAser1 is not removed automatically.

[Joe Schmitt]

Is this the same machine that you screenshotted earlier? If so once again, these are leftovers from 0.11.0

[Matthieu Jacquart]

@Joe-Schmitt Ok, I’m going to make test on another machine, I’ll give you result in 5 minutes

[Matthieu Jacquart]

@Joe-Schmitt test on another machine : works great ! change printer, return to previous one : only the good printer is mapped.
You can close the topic Thanks a lot !
