Improvements and fixes

This security update includes quality improvements. Key changes include:

• Addresses an issue that prevents an internet print server from packaging a driver to send to the client.
• Addresses an issue that causes the system to stop working during restart in certain scenarios.
• Implements a Group Policy setting for the following registry value:Registry location: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\PointAndPrintValue name: RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministratorsValue data: 1For more information, see KB5005652.
• Adds the ability to configure period or dot (.) delimited IP addresses interchangeably with fully qualified host names in the following Group Policy settings:
  • Package Point and Print - Approved Servers
  • Point and Print Restrictions
• Addresses a known issue that might prevent devices from downloading and installing printer drivers when the devices attempt to connect to a network printer for the first time. We have observed this issue on devices that access printers using a print server that uses HTTP connections.
• Addresses a known issue that might ask for administrative credentials every time you attempt to print. This occurs in environments in which the print server and print client are in different times zones.
  If you installed earlier updates, only the new fixes contained in this package will be downloaded and installed on your device.For more information about the resolved security vulnerabilities, please refer to the new Security Update Guide website and the October 2021 Security Updates.

  Note The printer connection issues described in this issue are specific to print servers and are not commonly observed in devices designed for home use. Printing environments affected by this issue are more commonly found in enterprises and organizations.| This issue is resolved in KB5008230.
  After installing this update on a print server, printing properties defined on that server might not be correctly provided to clients. Note this issue is specific to print servers and does not impact standard network printing. This issue will not cause printing operations to fail, however, custom settings defined on the server – for example, duplex print settings – will not be applied automatically, and clients will print with default settings only.This issue results from an improper building of the data file which contains the printer properties. Clients which receive this data file will not be able to use the file content and will instead proceed with default printing settings. Clients who have previously received the settings package prior to the installation of KB5005569 are unaffected. Servers which use default print settings and have no custom settings to provide to clients are unaffected.Note The printer connection methods described in this issue are not commonly used by devices designed for home use. The printing environments affected by this issue are more commonly found in enterprises and organizations.| This issue is resolved in KB5007207.
