Windows update

[mikadonovan]

Just a FYI, I lost some data on the last Microsoft Win 10 update (thankfully I had a backup), and I just noticed that ALL of the printers in the office had been changed from a standard IP port to a WSD port. I noticed it because I could not access finisher functions on one of them. Thanks to Microsoft, at least 3 hours over the last 10 days have been dedicated to fixing things they fu&!ed up. That pisses me off. Rant over.

Re: Windows update

Go in to WIM and turn off WSD, it's listed under Security. Then Windows won't change it to WSD anymore.

By golly, that's going to save me a lot of time, thank you. I'm gonna give you a rep bump.

Re: Windows update

Turn off WSD in the machine, but your customers can't print with ricoh connector anymore if you use this app

I do this on install now, every time. WSD is terrible.

This is incorrect.
Disable WSD on every single one of my machines is one of the FIRST things I do, and Connector App works fine

Re: Windows update

What happens if you disable WSD Print and Scan only?

Re: Windows update

I'm glad on our KonicaMinoltas WSD Print and Scan are disabled by default

Re: Windows update

On a Toshiba copier, when Windows 10 performs an automatic update. it replaces the installed Toshiba Universal 2 print driver with a Microsoft designed V4 driver.

This V4 driver both looks different but also causes all kinds of print issues like PDFs not printing properly.

I disable "Turn on automatic setup of network connected devices" found under Control Panel/ Network & Sharing/ Private/ Network Discovery

This is what I used to do before I figured out the whole WSD thing, but it always seemed that the next Windows Update would re-enable "automatic setup....." that's what caused me to look for a more permanent solution.
Has that changed?

I have never had a call back for print driver issues converted to the V4 driver once I disabled Automatic setup.

I have seen printer drivers redirected to WSD ports when I first arrive.

I try and install TeamViewer wherever I go to minimize travel time on issues like this.

That is why it is always best to disable WSD on the MFP when prepping for install. One MFP vs however many computers the customer may have.

Exactly Slim.
