Impossible to remove a printer from Windows 7 after his retirement from the server

I'm trying to remove a printer from the network.  He took the RODC without problem.  Now, try to remove it from a Windows 7 machine, I get the error: "access is denied, cannot delete the device.  The printer was added to Windows 7 by opening the print share, and automatically installed the drivers.  Removing it should be equally easy or even automatic.

I tried the following:

  1. There is no option "Run as Administrator" to the printer, or any level of the path of Control Panel.
  2. I have run CMD as administrator, then launched PRINTUI/s/T2.  For the printer driver will not uninstall because it is used by the printer and another printer.  So I don't want to uninstall the driver.  I want just the deleted network printer.
  3. The server shows no vestige on the part of the printer by using NET SHARE.
  4. I restarted the spooler on the server and the local computer printer
  5. I tried to disable UAC completely.  Still no access.
  6. There is no printing on the local computer under C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS.
  7. Under elevated privileges, I tried running PRINTUI /dn \\server\sharename.  Also PRINTUI /dn printername.  «Impossible operation completed (error 0 x 00000709).» Double check the name of the printer and make sure that the printer is connected to the network. "Why should it be connected to the network if I am trying to delete it?
  8. Also tried the PRINTUI /dl switch.  Wants the connected printer.
  9. Tried PRINTUI/dn/n \\servername\sharename of elevated privileges.  Access is denied.
  10. The printer is not in group policy.
  11. I searched for the appropriate methods of elimination of network printers where it was supposed to be done first customer.  Nothing found.
  12. From a command prompt high. A ran "Control Panel."  He opens the configuration panel.  Navigated to the printer and "remove hardware".  Same mistake.

At the end of the day I will try to end the session, and then restart.  I don't expect you to do anything.

In my case, my solution has proved to be much simpler.  I had been out of IT for years and was filling this position, trying to learn the tricks of the trade.  I had never been familiar with 'The printer management' tool AD Admin.  (Domain environment)  I just had to remove the printer out there.

I had a good laugh when an another computer scientist who noted.

  • Cannot print from the server to the client printer.

    I'm not able to find my shared printer when I connect to a server. The customer has windows 7 & the server has windows server 2003 service pack 2. Also, there are about 5 other talk PC to the server & their names do not appear in the task force but me. The server is located outside my city & sound remotely connected by VPN & desktop connection. I tried to ensure that my printer is shared in almost all settings, but could not solve the problem. Note: I'm skeptical on why my pc name does not appear in the task force on the server, because I am able to ping from the client to the server, but not from the server to the client by using the command Promt.

    Kindly let me know if need more information.

  • How can I create a filter to remove only "junk" from the server?

    One of my email accounts is an important customer. I manage their online customer service. Normally our protocol must always leave all messages on the server, so that one Thunderbird account, I never put delete messages on the server.

    But the account has recently started a lot of unwanted messages. Thunderbird is doing a remarkable job to those tagging and placing them in the folder junk e-mail for this account. I would like to create a filter that could remove them from the server, preferably more than "x" days old so I could monitor activity to ensure that no important messages are removed.

    I noticed that in "Filters" I can create a custom header of my choice filter, but am unable to create what I want which is:
    -After the mail is marked as junk by Thunderbird to delete messages from the server, if they are older than "X" days (my choice of 'X').
    -not to delete all messages in the server for this account

    Try:

    • Right-click the junk e-mail folder and select "Properties".
    • Click on ' retention policy tab
    • He chooses to "use my account settings."
    • Uncheck this option for other options.
    • Select: for example: delete messages more than x days.
    • Click OK to save the changes.
    • Close and then restart Thunderbird

  • Wireless hacked; Impossible to remove unwanted users from the list

    I had a wireless network that I used with my laptop. I deleted information wireless network of my laptop (win7) and resumed contact with a cable. I think the network has been hacked because there are about 12 other user names in the list of connection and there should be the name of my computer.

    I have no idea how a wireless router can be hacked, but I know that it can be. I don't know how else these other names could have ended up on top of my list of connection. How can I remove them?

    Also, is there a way to determine if one of these users still have access to my computers, although I have deleted the wireless network?

    Thanks for any help.

    The 12 names of that refer you to are probably wireless networks in your neighborhood.

    To confirm, display all networks the by opening a window run (Windows key + R), type cmd /k netsh wlan show networks mode = bssid (note the six spaces) and press ENTER, or, for a more complete view type cmd /k netsh wlan show all.

  • ASP remove a file from the server

    I did an application file sharing, and the description and filename are stored in my Access db, when I delete the recordset for the file I also want to delete the actual file. I am able to delete the file with the full path and name of the file as a variable,
    with this code:

    < %
    Dim filepath
    FilePath = Session("file_del")
    Set filedel = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    filedel. DeleteFile ("C:\localhost\CallCenter\EMPLOYEE_FILES\" & filepath), True
    Set filedel = nothing
    % >

    I put the file name in the session variable file_del on the page that deletes the Recordset.
    But I want to make it work on my hosted site without having to modify the path to my sites, I did this code:

    < %
    Dim filepath
    FilePath = Session("file_del")
    strPhysicalPath = Server.MapPath (filepath)
    Set filedel = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    filedel. DeleteFile strPhysicalPath, True ' line causing the ERROR
    Set filedel = nothing
    % >

    But the error just file not found.
    If I just display the variable strPhysicalPath on the page without the delete action, it displays the correct path.
    How can I get the strPhysicalPath to read, I tried every way I can think

    filedel. DeleteFile strPhysicalPath, True
    filedel. DeleteFile strPhysicalPath &, True
    filedel. DeleteFile (strPhysicalPath), True
    filedel. DeleteFile ("" & strPhysicalPath & "'"), it's true
    filedel. DeleteFile (& strPhysicalPath), True

    But none of them does not work?
    Any help would be great

    After a rest and a closer, I realized the mistake was in the line of mappath, was not including the folder as the files. strPhysicalPath = Server.MapPath (filepath) was wrong, so, I added the name of the folder: strPhysicalPath = Server.MapPath ("EMPLOYEE_FILES /" & filepath) then the file is deleted. so the complete code is:

    < %="">< br="">Dim filepath, strPhysicalPath < br=""> filepath = Session("file_del") < br=""> strPhysicalPath = Server.MapPath ("EMPLOYEE_FILES /" & filepath) < br="" >="" set="" filedel="CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")"> < br=""> filedel. DeleteFile (strPhysicalPath), True < br="" >="" set="" filedel="nothing"> < br=""> %>

  • The model HP LaserJet 2430 Q5964A only print from the manual feeder

    The LaserJet printer will no print (Tray 1) manual feeding.  We need the printer to print only starting from tray 2.  I tried to change the settings to the local node as a server-side.  I tried to make the Tray 1 not available both client-side and server without result.  Regardless of what I select settings, the printer will always say, ' manually feeding heavy extra paper.  I do not use a card stock.  I use a brand line 2 MACO of 10 very similar to Avery label sheets.  How can I get the printer to pass the Tray 1 and only draw starting from tray 2.

    Please, do not provide generic answers to change the size and type of paper.  I did this several times.

    Currently, tray 1 is A4 size, and the Type of tray 1 is labels.  I also settheis to envelope #10.  No matter what is put here the printer insists on the use of Tray1.

    Tray 2 has currently the size value LETTER.  Default paper size is set to letter.

    Without the help of HP, on mine I found a solution.

  • HP Deskjet 3522. Cannot print from the windows photo gallery

  • HP Officejet Pro 6830: 6830 windows 8 8.1 cannot print from the windows test page

    When it is connected to 'own' windows - it prints OK.

    When it is connected to the windows where are the normal software like office, autocad, adobe and so those installed, the printer does not print anything - test page from printer properties is the first problem that means...

    Only "free software priter" is able to print something (test pages and so one) also print doctor and installation wizzard prints what it can, but not possible 'to normal windows print"... :-(

    It is tested on:

    Software for laptop - Win 8 Pro - installed - no. PRINT

    Surface 3 Pro - Win 8.1 - software installed - no. PRINT

    Laptop - 8.1 Pro - clean shop - PRINTING POSSIBLE Win (after installation of the driver full download - in a test with autopilot installed it does not print)

    Virtual - Win 7 Ultimate - installed software - PRINTING POSSIBLE

    (installed software means office, autocad, adobe,...)

    It seems that some components of system installed with one software disables printing from windows.

    When looked at open before printing to the printer - it shows the print job (which is not printed) for 0.1 second and nothing is displayed - also when the printer is paused - it shows the work and it is deleted immediately - left must work until the printer not suspended...

    It is not a firewall issue (tested), it has been tested on: USB, WiFi, LAN. No way to print something from windows 8 and upwards.

    seems that it has something with the option run the program as administrator.

    tested on some programs - autocad, adobe, word excel,... - when run as administrator it prints OK.

    If you do not have the option in the context menu try to hold Shift before made a - right click and run as admin

    It's odd - some print settings are transferred with work, for example, winword impression (office) without admin - PDF Factory (virtual printer) - rights and then to the physical printer 6830 - he can't be printed to PDF Factory

    But if you start winword as an administrator - so you can print directly or through PDF Factory hassle

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    Personally, I see this as a big mistake by Microsoft - that something like this can happen - simple direct printing is not possible after you have connected the printer... :-(:-(:-(

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
    Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp?prevx=Y<-->

    Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  • OfficeJet 6000 computer connected to windows 7. Unable to print from the laptop Windows XP

    Printer connected by USB to the Windows 7 desktop.  Printing is fine.  I have two computers on the same network of working group, file sharing is allowed.  My laptop detects the printer on the network, but there is apparently a driver problem.  The disc supplied with the printer will only install on XP and Vista, so downloaded the drivers for the new office of windows 7.  I either get a message "Failed to print" or "the handle is invalid."  When I tried to connect to the printer via the network of sharing and tried to open it, I was told that the wrong drivers were located on the server.  He had the air of a file with *. INF.  Do I have the wrong drivers on the desktop or do I need to install the drivers on the laptop?  I never had this problem with my old Vista desktop.

    Hello.  Finally, I was able to install additional drivers for XP on the server computer and can now print from the laptop.  Thanks for the help!

  • HP Officejet want 5740: HP Envy does not print from the photo tray

    All of a sudden the printer refuses to print from the print bed.  I sat down today and photos of 4 x 6 successfully printed iPhoto.  When I went the second impression, it would only print from the paper tray.  All the settings are correct.  The window of the printer poster paper in all trays of correct size.  The printer settings are correct. I tried to restart the computer to reset, but in vain.

    Hi @KarenPM,

    I understand that you are having problems to print from the photo tray. I can help you with this.

    I would like to do a hard reset to see if that will solve the problem.
    Let the printer and disconnect the printer cable and the wall socket for 60 seconds.
    Reconnect the power cable to the output of the printer and the wall, and not a surge protector.
    This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

    Here are the steps to print the photos. HP ENVY 5540, 5570 Deskjet and Officejet 5740 - print photo printers.

    If you're still having problems, it may be a damaged printer driver, try the following:

    Fix permissions of the drive on the Mac:

    Close all applications.

    In the Apple menu, click OK, click Applications, and then click utilities.

    Double-click disk utility.

    Highlight your hard drive / partition on the left.

    Click on check and then repair disk permissions.

    Restart the computer...

    Reset the printing system:

    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer deleted can be re-added later by clicking the sign plus (+) symbol.

    Click on the Apple icon and then click on System Preferences.

    Click on Printers & Scanners.

    Make a right click (or Ctrl + click) in the left white side panel, and then click Reset printing system.

    Click OK to confirm the reset.

    Type the name and the correct password.

    Click OK to reset the printing system.

    Then click on the sign to add the driver, highlight the printer +. (you may need to click the drop down menu to select the name of the printer) Then click the Add button.

    Try another application to see if you have the same results.

    How is the printer connected? (USB, Ethernet, WiFi)

    If you appreciate my efforts, please click on the "Thumbs up" button below.

    If you have any questions, please let me know what steps you have taken and the results. Thank you.
