Spenketh Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 We currently have issues with printers randomly disappearing after windows updates and then needing a gpupdate /force to be reapplied. The printers deploy most of the time but we are getting calls of one or two printers a day that are not being deployed correctly. We are on 1607 builds, the printers are deployed through computer configuration on print management, the drivers have had the registry tweak to make them packaged drivers and point and print restrictions have been disabled. We're at a loss really and would like any suggestions on software that can reliably deploy printers on W10 1607. Much appreciated. Sam
robyholmes Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 Best method I have found is using GPP to install the printers (Update). Then delete them if needed (IE if student logs on, delete office printer). Only time it doesn't work you need to delete the print driver and re-add it to fix it. Rare we get that issue.

Sam We used to use GPP and set Shared Printers, initially it took a bit of tweaking i.e. Point and Print restrictions but after that it was plain sailing. I implemented in my first summer at my last place and never had any issues in 3 years.
Spenketh Posted November 30, 2016 Author Posted November 30, 2016 Is there much of a difference between using Print Management and GPP? I'm also looking to share local USB HP laserjet printers and deploy them with GPP but I admittedly haven't spent a great deal of time testing this yet, has anybody had any success with this?
MrFrostmaul Posted November 30, 2016 Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) We share all our printers via GPP on a user level under preferences - control panel settings, with item level targeting for network and local USB shared and works well for Win 7 and started Win 10 roll-out and so far all working same.

Sam You'll probably have less trouble deploying in a user context rather than computer. I'm speculating that after a reboot the printers re-appear?
