PrintServer on IIS - The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request.

Question

Hello all,

Today I saw that I have problem to install printers from new Print Server.
OS: Windows Server 2019 Std

After click on the Connect button, I'm clicking "Yes" to agree to install drivers for a printer.
Then after some seconds/minutes I get below error:

"
Printer Installation Failed

The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request. "

And we don't know how to resolve it.
Rebooting server, restarting services, install PS role again - it don't help.

Thanks!

Hi there,

You might want to visit the printer manufacturer’s websites and see if any updates for your device drivers is available. Updating Drivers is known to fix most of such Windows errors.
Additionally it could be because of the IO Completion Port, which appears when you try to continue the Read from the socket when it has most likely been closed. Disable the COM port in the Device Manager and Enable it again. Other than this you can try the SFC & DISM commands and restart the Pc and see if it is helpful .
