Currently W2012R2. ~600 printers. ~5000 users. Most remote but ya know.
2cpu, 16GB Ram.
Random failures. Usually mondays of course. Found a few driver mismatches, fixed. Random fails still happening. Most drivers are type 3. Some are older drivers which I suspect to be the main issue.
My inclination is to build new 2022 server similar specs, all type 4 drivers if available. We already pretty heavily use universal drivers for HP, Canon, Ricoh, other big names. Still have some model specific drivers for the smaller brands.
Thoughts? Managed print via printer logic or azure not really an option yet.
