2 Xerox 7830 printers keep re-appearing when removed from a 2012 server.<br />
<br />
they have been removed from the print server and there is NO GPO that is re-deploying them<br />
<br />
does anyone have any other ideas why they would keep being re-installed<br />
<br />
setup is as follows<br />
<br />
1 DC<br />
1 file server ( with print server installed)<br />
1 RDS<br />
multiple workstations<br />
<br />
whenever the 7830 is removed from any device within maybe 2 minutes it will automatically be reinstalled even though it does not actual exist anymore.

Remote access may refer to the connection to a data-processing system from a remote location, for example through a virtual private network remote desktop software, terminal emulation, or the activation of features of a business telephone system from outside the business's premises.

Remote Access

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
