Print Management Console Script error?

For the last couple of days I get this error when accessing printer properties or just selecting a printer in the print management console:

Anyone else having this issue?  Selecting yes or no has the same effect, i.e., none that I can tell.

I manage several print servers from the management console so looking in my workstation devices and printers isn't the answer. (seemed to be the answer of choice from a similar thread I saw and isn't applicable)

This update fixes the issue for current versions of Windows 10 (1903, 1909).

I just applied this and the Print Mgmt. Console is working again.

    This issue is scheduled to be fixed on Windows Server 2019 in updates releasing around the 3rd Tuesday of January 2020 and on 1903 a week later. 

    Look for KBs with release note text similar to "Fixes an issue where the Print Management console may display script errors when enabled the Extended View option."

    For those still experiencing the issue and just needing a workaround to see the pending jobs:

    1. Click on the printer in question.
    2. Click Yes on the script error.
    3. Click on Printers in the left pane again.

    Your pending jobs should show.

    Viewing the pending jobs was never the issue, rather, it's the irritating error in the first place that shouldn't be happening.  Right-click, open printer queue, does the same thing but that's beside the point.

    Agreed! Additionally, another feature affected from the script error, is that you can no longer access the printer's web page.
