How Much Impact will happen if we turn print services on the qlik Windows servers

[rohitk1609]

Hi team, 

My IT team has informed me that they are going to turn off "Print Spooler" print services in Windows Server where Qlik Sense is installed.

They need to turn off the print services on the qlik servers this coming week as it's a security hole. Once wan official MS patch is out for it, we can turn it back on.

How much potential impact of disabling print services?

I'm not familiar with their core functions. For example, would it prevent our NPrinting servers from generating PDF reports?

Our IT department is disabling the print services.  In our Qlik Sense, Qlikview and NPrinting test environments, I disabled the print services.  NPrinting is still generating PDFs and in Qlik Sense I can export to PDF.  I have not seen any problems in our test environments, but I'm going to be monitoring the environments closely for the next few days.

I don't think it would have impact for NPrinting it will generate the report normally.

The Window Service name is "Print Spooler". If we stop, then how it will effect NPrinting and Qlik?

Thanks,
