Co-worker is working on it now. I gave up. My computer wont even install the driver

I've tried all of them.

Thought about that, but it does not have usb ports. Only ethernet and wifi.

What difference does it make if it's installed manually locally or deployed with GPO? I've tried manually on 3 different PC's

magpie is simply the name of the print server. Windows 2016 server.

IT's a server. The plotter is a HP T850

Nope, ready to return the thing.

I've never had such a battle with a printer. Got a new plotter. Updated firmware, etc.... go to \\magpie (print server) and double click on the printer and it wont install. Tried manually with driver downloaded. Multiple computers having the issue. Windows 11 computers and server is 2016 1607

Yeah. Flattened the computer. Resolved. Opened a ticket with MS and they had me do the usual USELESS busywork. Bunch of fools that work for Microsoft.

I've been in IT 30 years and never had this happen. Regardless of what power source I'm using.

No recent updates.

Enabled this. Everything else was disabled. As I stated, there were no updates applied recently and this is happening every night. I simply lock my computer when I leave for the day and come in the next day and it's restarted.

No GPO in place to do this, I have this in my event viewer. It's happening on Windows 10 and 11 computers. Auto updates are off and do not restart is enabled for Windows update. I've paused the updates for a week to troubleshoot this. However there have been no recent updates applied anyhow...
