Print server and Print Nightmare update

Hi All,

I'm having issues with some Print Servers after running Windows Updates and installed

2021-08 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2019 for x64-based Systems (KB5005030)

After the update installation I'm getting the error "Connect to printer Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation failed with error 0x0000011b" and the printer fails to install.

Is there any workaround to keep Print Severs up and running?

I cannot permanently remove the August update, because the Print Nightmare update will come again in Sept Cummulative Update.

I also tried to revert the configurations using:
* “Allow Print Spooler to accept client connections” policy
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\PointAndPrint.

Nothing worked. I will appreciate any advice.

Thanks,

Manuel

    So we have setup a new Domain joined 2019 print server and installed the Ricoh Universal V4 print driver and setup a couple print queues.
    Laptop endpoints have then same driver installed.
    Initial testing has domain joined Win 10 laptops printing a test page with a couple of seconds as expected.
    Azure Endpoint joined laptops take about 30 - 40 seconds to print. All laptops tested are in the same office location as the print server.
    Has anyone struck this before?

    thank you for help . in my case it was necessary to restart the second server which was on 2016. Windows should not launch a security update for our security.
