Error 0x800703eb occurs when you deploy printers via group policy. The policy is that the correct settings are made, but the printer is not shown. The following printer error can occur in Event Viewer:
Computer preference item '192.168.9.49' in Group Policy object 'Printers {6CDA8498-65F2-4B71-BA11-666293604519}' did not apply because it failed with error code '0x800703eb Unable to complete This function'. This bug was removed.
Group Policy settings were introduced with Windows Server 2008 and are still present in Windows 2012. Compared to “simple group policies”, they expand the opportunities to configure the computer and the user.
