Please contact your system administrator." Seems like a bug in recent windows server update or something.. Adding network shared printer fails on Windows Server 2012 R2. Driver downloads and installs ok, but finishing the task fails with "A policy is in effect on your computer which prevents you from connecting to this printer queue. Please contact your system administrator.". Tried all possible GPO settings about point & print restrictions etc. Even under administrator account with UAC disabled. Affects multiple Windows Servers 2012-2016. Only option to connect the printer is to manually add registry [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Connections\,,sharingcomputername,sharename] "GuidPrinter"="{4D1E626F-3528-47DD-95D8-A13160BB05EC}" "Server"="\\SUMIT-PC" "Provider"="win32spl.dll" "LocalConnection"=dword:00000001
