About this tag
Point and Print is a Windows feature that allows users to install network printers by connecting to a print server, automatically downloading the necessary drivers. Discussions on WindowsForum.com cover issues with Point and Print in Windows Server 2022, where the Enhanced Point and Print driver may replace the intended manufacturer driver, causing feature limitations. Other threads address problems with Point and Print Restrictions policies being ignored in Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2, leading to administrative credential prompts for standard users. Additional topics include errors when creating Point and Print connections, incorrect print attributes, and HTTP connections being used instead of Point and Print. Event IDs associated with Point and Print restrictions are also documented.
