Hi,
since the latest Update 04/2026 of one Windows 11 client we can’t print on one old printer anymore. After the update the printer-spooler went down and coludn’t be started again. It took a little time to find out which driver caused the problem. It is the Lexmark C912 printer driver. This is a very old printer but it works fine and have a lot of options installed (5 paper tray, duplex, finisher). So i prefere to keep this printer as long as it works. I found out that the 04/2026 update blocks some drivers that are not “save” and so for the future Windows won’t print on this machine.
So here is the question: Is it possible to run a printserver on the UCS and print from Windows with a universal driver which provides the features of the printer. I don’t need a defined color for publishing newspaper but i need color/grayscale, the paper tray with different papersize and duplex. If possible the finisher but this is optional.
Kind regards
Jochen
