Windows 10 Pro x64…1809 and Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64. Did an image on both and updated this morning. All devices are working just fine with no problems, including my HP Printer. I have not noticed any bugs or problems.

FWIW, we’ve got multiple 2016 LTSB machines affected (some with HP printers, some with non-HP.)

Ok woody & gborn, I’m now getting the same printing problem with the KB4516077 update for 1809 [just like with KB4522016 or KB4517211 for 1903] when attempting to print a document to my family’s HP Envy Photo 7858 printer thru a wireless or Wifi connection. I’m now considering removing the KB4516077 update off my Win10 v1809 computer.

That may explain the discrepancy between the MS mea culpa and the general reports that it affects 1903 and HP printers only.

I sure wish MS didn’t play this so close to the vest.

If you want to troubleshoot, I’d be curious if one of two things fixed it. Re-install the same driver and then after that check for a newer driver.

Win 8.1 Home with several years old HP printer. Twice got some strange error code. Thought my printer had deceased, but after turning off and on it seemed to recover and printed ok. Never had this before and saw this report so it must be this update. So far have not had the issue with my Win 10 Home 1903 on a new Epson printer.

Has anyone had printer issues after installing Win 7 September patches?

I’m in the same boat with you. Also have installed September updates on Win 8.1 and print issues began. Especially Adobe PDF and Internet Explorer 11. All is hanging. Reverted back to working state.

Just to be clear… you’re running Win8.1 and have a (?) brand printer. You installed the September Monthly Rollup, KB 4516067, and the printer started hanging. You uninstalled the September Monthly Rollup, and it’s now working fine.

Curious…..

Woody, I am using network printer Xerox WC 7845. Print driver is universal PS. Before installing September CU everything works fine.
When I open any pdf document from network disks in Adobe Reader DC or FoxIt Reader and try to print, active window of program freezes and it is not even possible to force stop hang processes. a temporary solution to log off or reboot. But printing starts to work after reverting back before install of CU. Also the same issue in Internet Explorer when trying to call a print procedure. Freezes the active window of IE 11.

Microsoft just publish new updates for printing issue before regular 2d Patch Tuesday.
