Ok I think I have it figured. 1. Most likely unrelated but a point. The PC I was working on was just put into production at this branch and we still had the forward lookup pointing to the old workstation in DNS. Corrected that.
2. Changed all \\serverip\printershare<file:///\\serverip\printershare> to \\FQDN\PrinterShare<file:///\\FQDN\PrinterShare> in the policy. 3. Changed from Create to Replace on all the printer objects in the GPP. 4. Deleted all the printers from the PC. 5. On the DC forced the gpupdate 6. Rebooted PC. 7. All printers added and default printer is correct. /RANT ON Now the error 0x80070709 tells me it cannot find the printer because the printer name is invalid but looking through all of these articles on that error using Google it would seem more accurate that it just didn't want to delete the printer that was already there. So maybe printer already exists or kiss my butt or something other than invalid name. Keeps me up at night and doesn't rub the lotion on its body. I cannot research an error that gives me bread crumbs down a dead end. /RANT OFF From: listsadmin@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsadmin@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Miller Bonnie L.

Ah, ignore that last reply-I see when scrolling up it's an underscore. Only other thing I can think of is to maybe try the server name. If you connect with the IP, it won't try to use Kerberos.

Server 2008 R2, TCP/IP printer GPP. Keeps getting this error?
