We just moved a bunch of scheduled tasks from Win Server 2013 to 2016 and now scheduled tasks cannot print.  It leaves an instance of splwow64.exe in task manager for each print failure. Using 2019 R2. Any Ideas?

Hello John,

have a look at this similar post:

Best,

The PB app does close and everything ran fine. It is just that the dw.Print() does not work and in task manager details there is an instance of splwow64.exe for every time a PB app tried to print.

Are you sure that you have a printer selected?

This looks like the dw.Print() command is called and executing, but there's no printer selected.

Hi John;
  What technique(s) are these Apps using to print?
   Also, are these Apps run as a Window's "Service"?
Regards ... Chris

Good question Miguel ... I would assume the "default" printer of the account that the batch EXE is run under.

Hence my question :)

John, I was thinking, maybe there's no "default" assigned printer for that account?

There is a default printer.
