Hi, just a quick one when customers add a printer via doing it themselves usually windows will use wsd and do everything. I've seen literally hundreds of instances now and I usually just disable wsd on install to prevent it but still if I forget, a user uses wsd it will work but then suddenly not work without installing the printer again?
I don't get the question here but we all know WSD is not reliable. We also disable WSD at all new machines since a while during pre-install in our shop.
I'm not sure "WHY" it doesn't work, but it's quite irritating that it doesn't. I wish it would, as it's a nice way to quickly be able to print... But if it's going to be helpful to connect, at least switch it to IP.
Maybe I've got this wrong. Somebody please correct me if I do: WSD only connects with the printers during initialization. If the printer loses communication, or is not available during bootup of the PC, it won't connect, then stay unconnected. The ONLY time it can connect is during initialization, kinda like the old parallel printers. That's why restarting the PC always fixes WSD connection issues, at least temporarily. What is doesn't do is print those stranded print jobs in the queue that have been sitting there, sometimes for years. Just make WSD go away.
On a tangent, another thing that I've seen Windows 11 PC's doing is changing IP addresses, default printer choice, even deleting installed print drivers all by itself. There is a toggle switch: "Let Windows manage your printers ... " DEFINITELY choose NO. It makes bad choices.

If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
WSD was windows poor attempt to simplify driver installs. I love it when the driver is set up with XPS instead of IPP..... WHO STILL USES XPS??? So we have been doing the same things. Disable WSD/IPP and let the customer know that the OEM driver needs to be installed to get full functionality. However I still have to explain this to IT people that insist on using a universal driver.
Unnamed IT guy: I have a color printer that will only print BW.
Me: Did you load the current OEM driver?
IT guy: no we just installed a universal driver.
Me: Please load the current OEM driver and try that before you share it out on the network. (Screaming in my head:: HOW ARE YOU IN THIS FIELD AND GET PAID MORE THAN ME!!!!!!!!!)
Why disable IPP ? I currently have no problem with it.
Sharp now have WSD disabled by default, IPP still enabled.
You need IPP for AirPrint no ?
Airprint uses Bonjour mainly. Plus I use LPD when setting up most of my Mac drivers. If someone comes to me with a mobile device like an Ipad, then I would turn IPP back on just in case. However most of my customers do not.

Yes WSD is so flaky, only really designed for the home user or office staff who bring a laptop into the office occasionally for the odd print.
WSD nice idea, shame it's so unreliable.
Let us eat, drink, and be merry, because tomorrow we may die!
For all your firmware & service manual needs please visit us at:
It was once explained to me by a " highly credentialed" IT person that WSD issues a security cert on install. However that Cert has an expiration, so in time it will stop communicating. Reinstalling the printer will renew the cert. Whether that is true or not, I dont know. I have found no documentation one way or another, but it sort of makes sense.
Always set a static IP or DHCP reservation for the printer and install it using a Standard TCP/IP port instead of WSD. A stable connection and avoids the reinstallation headache also works.
WSD is unreliable as it creates a psuedo name entry to address the device as well as a port. it then creates a session to the device however the slightest thing can upset the session and even kill it. When this happens you obviously will have a problem printing. If your network is properly configured and you use the OEM drivers, WSD is simply a waste. I never use the MS drivers, especially I disable the OS' ability to auto-detect new printers.
But the real question is, what's the best alternative on Windows ?
For Mac most of the times I don't bother with driver (unless there is a finisher) and go with the AirPrint solution, but for Windows I have no idea.
I have customers that does not have Admin access on their Windows laptop (and IT refuse to do anything about it) and I can't do shit about it, I go with the default Microsoft driver.
A favorite resort of the foreign residents of Yokohama during the summer months is the island of Enoshima. It is about twenty miles away, and is a noted place of pilgrimage for the Japanese, on account of certain shrines that are reputed to have a sacred character. Doctor Bronson arranged that his party should pay a visit to this island, as it was an interesting spot, and they could have a glimpse of Japanese life in the rural districts, and among the fishermen of the coast. "But as we are in for it," he continued, "we must make the best of the situation, and hope to go through in safety. Many a strong ship lies at the bottom of the sea, where she was sent by just such a storm as we are about to pass through, and many another has barely escaped. I was once on a ship in the China seas, when the captain told the passengers that it would be a miracle if we remained half an hour longer afloat. But hardly had he done speaking when the wind fell, the storm abated, and we were safe. The typhoon is to these waters what the hurricane is to the West Indies; it is liable to blow at any time between April and September, and is often fearfully destructive. OPIUM-PIPE. OPIUM-PIPE. "Surely your ladyship knows Dr. Bruce!" Hetty said with a vivid splash of colour on either cheek "A little time ago I understood that Dr. Bruce----" "I require that everywhere a strict investigation shall take place into the conduct of the soldiers with regard to the life and property of the civilian population. "Where were they buried?" They all pressed forward. "Count out. That's the only fair way," shouted the boys in the center. "Now, there's three loaves o' bread for the Sargint," said Harry, laying them down on a newspaper. "There's three for the Corpril; there's three for me; there's three for you." "'T?un't peas, thick 'un," Vennal would break in uproariously, "it's turnips—each of 'em got a root like my fist." At this moment of perplexity, some medicine, that she had obtained from Edith, occurred to her, and, with a feeling of confidence, and almost of extacy, she took a phial from a shelf in a cupboard where she had placed it, and, pouring out the contents in a large spoon, hesitated an instant ere she administered it. "Let me see," said she; "surely it was a large spoonful Edith told me to give—yet all that was in the phial doesn't fill the spoon. Surely I can't be wrong: no—I remember she said a large spoonful, and we didn't talk of any thing else—so I must be right." But Mary still hesitated, till, hearing a sudden noise in the court-yard, which, she conjectured, was her mistress returned, and as the child was getting worse every moment, she leaned back its head, and, forcing open its mouth, compelled the patient, though with difficulty, to swallow its death. The draught was taken; the rigid muscles relaxed, and for a minute the child lay motionless in her lap; but in an instant after, Mary could scarcely suppress a shriek at the horrid sight that met her gaze. The eyes opened, and glared, and seemed as if starting from the head—the fair face and the red lips, were blue, deepening and deepening, till settling in blackness—the limbs contracted—the mouth opened, and displayed a tongue discoloured and swollen—then came a writhing and heaving of the body, and a low, agonized moan: and, as Mary looked almost frantic at this dreadful sight, Edith's words, when she had given her the phial, "that there was enough there to kill," suddenly occurred to her—and then, too, came, with a dreadful distinctness, the remembrance of the true directions which Edith had given. It was nearly noon the next day, when the under-sheriff entered the room to ask if their opinions were yet unanimous. The galleyman still refused. "That for ye, coward," said Tyler, striking him with the flat side of his bared weapon. Oakley aimed another thrust which was again turned aside, and the smith, now flinging down his sword, seized upon his right hand and wrenched the dagger from its grasp. After a short struggle, Oakley fell heavily on the pavement with the blood streaming from his mouth and nostrils. HoME萝拉泷泽第4部资源
