Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |
Just a heads up – saw this a bit last month and now seeing it reported quite a bit. KB4560960 is causing printing issues with PCL 5 drivers and PCL 6

Seems to be a description of the bug described in MS’s post yesterday:
I think Susan’s describing a different problem.
Printing Issues acknowledged:
2) Microsoft : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4566779/usb-printer-port-missing-after-disconnecting-printer-while-windows-10
I think Susan’s referring to a different printer bug.
Oh boy, we have lot’s of Ricoh printers. I’ll let you know if we run into this.

We already have around 70 windows 10 systems that have installed this update. I decided to put that update back to “Not Approved” just in case. Apparently other printer makes are affected too, not just Ricoh. I really don’t want to say this but I haven’t had any calls…..yet on this. Knock Wood. Now that I’ve said that the phones will start ringing.

Note that these are two very different bugs, both triggered by the June Cumulative Updates.

Final update – today we were up to around 150 Windows 10 systems that received the update. This morning I received 2 reports of print issues. The first was a Ricoh C3505 MPF. The second one was a Dell 2360dn printer.
I made the mistake of playing around with the print driver on the first pc and created a mess. The second pc I uninstalled the June update for windows 10 and the problem was fixed immediately.
Despite having 150 pc’s not reporting the issue I immediately approved KB4560960 for REMOVAL and we will be uninstalling this update.
FYI – this marks the second month our organization has not approved the monthly 1909 and 1903 update. Our windows 10 systems are still on the April update.
