Do you trust this printer

[timbo343]

Just of today - nothing has changed apart from a driver install, and we are now getting Do You Trust This Printer when connecting to some (not all) of the printers on our print server.

 

Question is, why all of a sudden is this happening and why is it only applying to some of the printers?

 

I have read that it's to do with the driver version but for it to suddenly do it all of a sudden? Strange?!

 

Implementing the point and print restrictions specifying the sever and setting the security prompts to "do not show" works however i do not understand that this policy was set to DISABLED and things were working fine.

 

As i say nothing in group policy has changed and it seems since changing a damm toshiba driver this is when the problems have occurred.

 

Anyone else seen this?

You need packaged printer drivers, ran into this issue myself - under packaged on the drivers section of the print server it should say true.

I don't trust any printer.

I can get away with it, I'm not a mod

All the drivers do say true and i've checked the registry entries for the drivers and they all add up to what it should be - i'm at a bit of a loss to be honest.

Here's the error we are getting when we try to use a new set of drivers and when not using the Point and Click option in Group Policy:

You could try change this reg key on the print server "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows x64\Drivers\Version-3\DriverName\PrinterDriverAttributes" and setting the value to 1. You will need to restart the print server.

Tried that, doesn't work unfortunately.

 

I've ready the PrinterDriverAttributes needs to be an odd number too.
