toomuchtodo Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 We use server 2012R2 and clients on W7. We have printers deployed by print management. GP - teachers OU get all printers, Student OU get the two nearest printers to the machine they are using. PROBLEM Printers appear and vanish on a daily basis with no pattern! Any ideas?

You have the same poltergeist as us! Current issue is that users can't print to the "Office_Mono" printer (they can see it) but can print to "Office_Colour". It's the same damned printer, just redirected so that they don't print everything in colour.... Check that you have the same driver version for 32bit and 64bit and check that you don't have a client machine acting as print server for the whole network.

Also if its a "universal" driver have a look here http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-7/145711-print-driver-woes.html
