Hi all

FYI – KB5005573 is braking printing services on Server 2016 and Windows 10 machines.

I’m currently only installing on CRM only servers if you use for print servics hold back on the update.

Regards,

Could you be more specific please? We are interested.

Here in our company, domain users are not able to print on already installed printers, because elevation of user rights are required now to update printer drivers. Currently, users are not able to add printer from our printserver without admin rights. But I noticed, that verly lot of files are downloaded into system folder BEFORE the login prompt appears.
Another issue we have is, that in the “Printers and Scanners” section, there is written “New driver is needed”, but there is no obvoius way how to do that. Unless you open the print spool and select File > Update driver. Cant they just add the button to the ms-settings: app, instead of taking the user into 20 years old print que interface?

Our daily tasks are more complicated now.

Seems very inconsistent reports say some are not effected but most are. I uninstalled the update from a single windows 10 client and now I can add the printer and print from the print server .

Maybe there is some GPO setting, that allows domain users to add the printer without admin rghts. Unfortunatelly I dont know which it is. Or at least I hope it exists, otherwise it would be very user unfriendly issue 🙂

Joke:

Workaround: Verify that you are using the latest drivers for all your printing devices and where possible, use the same version of the print driver on the print client and print server.

The workaround is actually to install correct drivers on all client machines. Which requires the admin rights. Which is actually the issue. Which can be workarounded by updating the drivers on client machnes.

Do I understand it wrong, or did just Microsoft caught himself in an infinite loop?

I bet the solution with uninstalling the update causing problem works for all mentioned updates. Sad fact is, that even Microsoft is lost in the woods.

Its a really lame solution, to uninstall buggy patch, but it is at least some solution.

No qaulity assured from Microsoft side, if there is no testing department. Its very boorish attitude, and I dont buy the reasons, that there are myriads of HW combinations, its their duty to release correct fixes, especially when they literally forced enterprise cutomers into subscription model with neverending updates of their services (formerly products).
Relying on volunteer customers to test it in the insider and dev cahnnel is unbelivable to me still.

Just came across this redit post from yesterday.

Microsoft September Roll-up just broke around 122 printing services. Be aware before updating it from msp

I’ve seen two workarounds mentioned:

1. Remove the printer on the client PC.
2. Add a user to the credential manager on the client PC for the server PC that has administrative privileges.
3. Create an admin user on the server PC or use an existing one. (I have not had success with just a standard user.)
4. Make sure credential manager user name contains the server’s PC name in front of the user name like this: ServerPCNAME\UserName
5. Restart the print spooler service.
6. Open an administrative command prompt and run the following command to launch the printer install UI as an administrator: —rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /il

Other way is  https://rdr-it.com/en/troubleshooting/kb5005573-error-0x0000011b-printing/

Are you suggesting to allow user to gain admin privileges on the server? If I add the user with server admin privileges into credential manager, all performed actions on the server will be done with that privileges – eg. deleting files, installing programs or disabling services.
