PrintNightmare Update Issue – Windows Update on Server and Client Out of Date

Authors list



Following on from the PrintNightmare issue identified with Windows recently, Microsoft have released a new update to fix some outstanding vulnerabilities. While this update fixes the issue, it can cause another issue with remote printing between a Client and Server machine on different patches. This has mainly been seen with printing via UNC paths but seems to also be a problem with printers shared via a print server. 

So far we have received reports involving:

  • KB5005613
  • KB5005627
  • KB5005030

Potential fixes

Potential fixes are to update all client and server machines to the latest KB number or remove the affected updates from the server or client. 

This issue has been reported to Microsoft and more details can be seen at:
