I also don’t want to go a month without installing an update unless the reasons for doing so are very clear. My ongoing philosophy is that when the risk of being unpatched is higher than the risk of applying a patch, it’s time to install updates.

If you are impacted by the October updates and do have printing issues, consider your situation carefully before you uninstall and block updates. If you can print, leave the updates installed and pat yourself on the back - you survived October.

Therefore, after installing the updates in your peer-to-peer network, Make testing printing your first step. Many system administrators report that printing problems most often occur when the operating system of the server hosting the print server is older - and possibly unpatched - while the workstations are newer platforms that are patched. Even though there are documented problems with network printing after the October updates, they are not widespread. However, that doesn’t mean I don’t want you to install updates. This month, unfortunately, there are still issues. It’s when most, if not all, of the side effects of patches have been identified.
