FYI: Issues with terminal server not working after restart & UNIXprinting/canon color printer (a really old one)

 

Hi there,

 

begin this year I posted about terminal services often not working after

rebooting the server.

 

We finally found the issue. Not sure where the exact cause comes from,

but I figured I'd let you guys here know anyways.

 

The server had printer drivers installed for an old Canon color printer.

This thing required UNIX printing services to be installed on the

server. The printer was removed a long time ago (the drivers were still

installed on the server however, and so was UNIX printing).

 

Not sure if the canon driver or the UNIX printing caused the terminal

services frequently not to come up (service was running, but couldn't

connect to to it, no response from server). Deleting the Canon driver

and removing UNIX printing from the server solved the issue.

 

Please note it was in administrative mode, but don't think it will make

much of a difference.

 

Hope this might help someone in the future. Since there were no errors

(logged anyways) it was quite hard to figure this one out.

 

Kind regards
