Guest hinarei Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Hello, I've recently rebuilt a domain controller to W2k3R2 SP2, and for some reason am getting strange results after setting it up as a print server. We did a printmig from our old server to the new one, which seemed to work correctly, tested printing, working fine. A couple of days later users in that office complained they couldn't change their settings (printing defaults and so on). One printer (Canon iR) was okay, we were having problems with our HP CLJ3600, which when Printing Defaults was clicked, came up with an unhandled exception error. I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver, and then rebooted the server. Received a DEP message saying the Print Spooler Subsystem was denied access to start. Changing DEP settings doesn't change the result, now no-one can print to this server. Could anyone shed any light on this, please?
