This alternative method removes only a single security update from the June release that is causing the printing issue, while keeping all the rest of the June security protections in place.

Customers who install KB4032782 to restore printing functionality will be vulnerable to CVE-2017-8529, but can be protected from all the other vulnerabilities resolved in the June security rollup. This article will be updated when new information is available.
