Printer server - Unknown user name or bad password

Question

We have a number of computers that for physical security reasons aren't connected to the domain and are on a separate network with appropriate firewall rules in place. Prior to the print nightmare fixes users on these computers could print to the print server without issue just by connecting to the print server and adding the shared printers using their domain credentials. Since the fixes although we have no issue adding the printers, the prints get blocked on the print server due to authentication, event error 4625

Does anyone know how we can fix this issue?

Answer 2

Hello @i8displaynames

Only users with Admin rights would be able to see the printer because the would have access to the drivers. One workaround is to install manually the printer drivers locally, and this will allow any users on the computer to map the device. Otherwise Microsoft released an article regarding the printer and printer driver management post patching:

Hope it helps,
