<p>J’essaie de deploy printers via Group Policy. Posts around the internet suggest using the Group Policy Preferences approach (<em>User/Preferences/Control Panel Settings/Printers</em>) is the preferred method.</p>
<p>Cependant, the printer is failing to deploy, and le suivant error appears in the event viewer:</p>
<blockquote></blockquote>
<p>The user ‘Epson Printer’ preference item in the ‘Group Policy Object<br>
{GUID}’ Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with<br>
error code ‘0x80070bcb The specified printer driver was not found on the system<br>
and needs to be downloaded.’ This error was suppressed.</p>
<p>Various sources around the internet, including <a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725938.aspx" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Microsoft Technet</a>, suggest that the <strong>Point and Print Restrictions</strong> GPO policy needs to be modified in order for the drivers to be allowed to install without prompt.</p>
<p>This policy exists in both the User Configuration tree under <em>User/Policies/Administrative Templates/Control Panel/Printers</em>; and the Computer Configuration tree under <em>Computer/Policies/Administrative Templates/Printers</em>.</p>
<p>J’ai tried two approaches:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Setting both User and Computer Point and Print Restrictions policy to Disabled.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Setting both User and Computer Point and Print Restrictions policy to the configuration described in ce qui précède Technet article (<a href="https://i.sstatic.net/2f9n2.png" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">screen capture of policy</a>)</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>After each attempt, I performed a full directory replication, and on the test computer executed <em>gpupdate /force</em> from both an elevated admin and normal user command prompt, rebooted, then executed <em>gpresult /H result.html</em> to validate the settings have been applied.</p>
<p>Cependant, I am still getting ce qui précède error in the event viewer and the printer is not installing.</p>
<p>If I manually add the printer with <strong>Add Printer</strong> in the control panel, the driver installs fine. Additionally if I use the “traditional” approach of deploying printer connections via <em>Computer/Windows Settings/Deployed Printers</em>, the printer driver and printer appear to install fine, but then I can’t use some of the newer features supported by the GPP approach.</p>
<p>The Domain Controller is Windows Server 2012 R2 and le clients are Windows 10 Enterprise. All computers are up to date with the latest patches.</p>
