Strange printer installation issue

[mdrabble]

Have a bit of a weird one with printer not being installed correctly.

 

During the summer, reinstalled desktop to 25H2, apps, the lot.

 

Staff and Student get the same User GPO for installing printers which has taget level assignments.

 

All users get mono and staff get added colour regardless of where they log on.

 

Worked fine previously

 

Staff still get printers but Students are failing to get the printer assigned. - Students can install printer manually if i give access to a shortcut to the printer share (so ruling out a driver install issue)

 

I have tried creating a new User GPP GPO with no targetting for all authenticated users and placed on student OU, and still same issue.

 

Scratching my head on this one - anyone any idea on what to try next.

 

Cheers

Not got a solution, but I've also "upgraded" the entire site from Windows 11 23H2 to 25H2 and have already found two issues so far:

1. PowerPoint becomes unresponsive or crashes when annotating during presentations.
2. When printing a PDF from Adobe Reader, selecting Printer Properties to change settings such as colour causes Adobe Reader to close completely.

Bring back the days when you could run Windows XP for 10 years without having to upgrade every couple of years! 😄

Create a script that deletes the printer connection and add its back and test on a single device.

 

Perhaps also try deleting the current driver and using a newer one.

Sorted, had a typo in the gpo for the print server name.

 

I lost count the number of times I checked that gpo as well.

 

only took me 2 days to spot the typo!!
