Hi @Nuvoco,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To address the issue of installing an HP LaserJet M125-126 printer and sharing it with other users on a Windows Server 2019 environment, you'll need to make sure that you are using the correct driver type. The HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) provides Type 4 drivers, which are recommended for improved compatibility and ease of management.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you obtain and install the HP Universal Print Driver Type 4, and troubleshoot the “Access Denied” issue:

1. Download the HP Universal Print Driver Type 4

Visit the HP Support Website:

• Go to the HP Support page.

Search for the Universal Print Driver:

• Enter "HP Universal Print Driver" in the search bar and select the appropriate version for your operating system. For Windows Server 2019, you’ll need the driver for the correct bit version (32-bit or 64-bit).

Download the Driver:

• Choose the HP Universal Print Driver (Type 4) from the search results and download the appropriate version.

2. Install the HP Universal Print Driver Type 4

Open the Driver Installer:

• Run the downloaded installer file for the HP Universal Print Driver.

Choose Installation Type:

• When prompted, select Network Printer if you are sharing the printer over a network. Follow the prompts to install the driver.

Add the Printer:

• After installation, add the HP LaserJet M125-126 printer to your server. Go to Devices and Printers > Add a printer and follow the on-screen instructions.

Set Up Printer Sharing:

• Go to Devices and Printers, right-click on the printer, and select Printer properties.
• In the Sharing tab, check Share this printer and give it a share name.

3. Configure Printer Permissions

Access Printer Properties:

• Right-click on the shared printer and select Printer properties.

Set Permissions:

• Go to the Security tab.
• Ensure that the appropriate user groups have the necessary permissions (e.g., Print, Manage this printer).
• Click Edit to adjust permissions if needed.

Apply and Confirm:

• Click Apply and OK to save changes.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
