However, not everyone was willing to give up Internet Explorer just yet. Thus, Microsoft still provides Internet Explorer with updates.

The only problem with them is that they bring an entire host of new issues as well.

Internet Explorer fix affects JScript.dll-based processes

Users have been reporting on forums that the latest Zero-day fix has broken printer functionality, especially on HP devices.

The initial purpose of this patch was to fix an exploit. Without it hackers could take advantage of a security weakness in Internet Explorer’s scripting.

Heads up to those who deployed Microsoft’s most recent exploit temporary fix. It seems the jscript.dll is needed for some HP drivers. In our environment we saw I/O errors on pretty much all HP printers after deploying the “patch”. Reverting the patch immediately fixed printing.

Admittedly, Microsoft stated that this fix is more of a workaround, and it simply involved restricting access to JScript.dll. However, this fix seems to have caused other issues as well.

Fortunately enough, uninstalling the fix will revert the change and restore printer functionality back to normal.

Implementing these steps might result in reduced functionality for components or features that rely on jscript.dll. For example, depending on the environment, this could include client configurations that leverage proxy automatic configuration scripts (PAC scripts).
