After following more instructions and removing the VIP print server plus adding a Loopback network adapter and setting it up per instructions &nbsp;I am now able to add the printers manually to my clients. I just set up the gpo via computer based so they get the printer automatically. Need to restart the clients and servers to pick up the printer.<br />

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction very helpful

2 Window 2012 R2 Data Center<br />

The two Windows 2012 R2 Servers run Print Services.<br />
On the Kemp I created the service to Load Balance the Print Servers.<br />

I created a new Print server on each Server with the Name of the Service I created on Kemp TGCSPS-VIP &nbsp;<br />

Is there any one delete the default print server. &nbsp;Only way I found is to uninstall Printer Server Role.<br />

Can I create a Printer server using the Name of my Service from the Kemp?<br />

Kemp Load Balance Windows Print Servers

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.

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.

Windows Server 2012

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
