So it seems the list “_configuredPrinters” contains the printer that I want to install.
Is it the host’s printers list configured through the fog server web ?
And the “installedPrinters” list will be the printers already installed on the host ?

Don’t hesitate if you need help debugging.
I’m using the module a lot and this bug is very frustating…

@Matthieu-Jacquart
The bug was there in 1.5.8 too and I think it wasn’t before.

I Updated Fog to 1.5.9. The problem is still the same.

How Fog client checks if a printer is already installed ?

Hi,

First of all, I would like to thank all of you for your work.

Now, let’s go straight to the point.
We are using a fog server 1.5.8 and the printer module to install network printers.
But since few months, we’ve got and error :
… PrinterManager printer_name has already been configured
The printer can’t be installed because the fog client believes it already was.

The error appears on Win7 or Win10, with fog client 0.11.16 or 0.11.19 but not everywhere.
For example, it can happen on 1 computer in a classroom of 20 identical (soft and hardware) computers.

I tried this printui command on local host which works just fine :
rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /if /b “Ricoh Printer” /f “\NAS_IP\applications\Imprimantes\RICOH\IMC3000\disk1\OEMSETUP.INF” /m “Generic PCL5 Printer Driver” /r “IP_192.168.0.20”

Any idea ?
