aspnet:4.7.2-windowsservercore-ltsc2019 printers not available #156

Closed themultiplexer closed 5 years ago

According to this Issue printers should work starting with 1809 or ltsc2019 but printers are still not available. I need this for GDI to work.

To the best of my understanding, you will need to use new windows base image for printer support. @cwilhit if he has more to add.

Currently, our ASP.NET images are based on Windows Server Core images as opposed to the Windows images and we currently have no plans to create ASP.NET images based on the Windows base image. I'd recommend building your own images

Only thing I'd call out is setting expectations around "printers working in containers"--Yes, you can run the Print Spooler service in the Windows base image as @shirhatti pointed out, provided you have it turned off on your host and there's only one instance of the service running. I suspect there will be other quirks as well. Would love to capture this feedback if you try it out @themultiplexer
