I FU**ING FIXED IT.

So its a two parts problem. First one was fixed by your regkey, 2nd part is adding RpcAuthnLevelPrivacyEnabled set as 0 in the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print"

Thank you so much Garlin for the assistance,

For everyone else dealing with this Microsoft change, please use the regkey below (apply key then reboot the PC):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\RPC]
"RpcUseNamedPipeProtocol"=dword:00000001
"RpcProtocols"=dword:00000007
"ForceKerberosForRpc"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print]
"RpcAuthnLevelPrivacyEnabled"=dword:00000000

Hey again Garlin

So I applied the key, and what it did is: Now I do not get 0x00000709 when I double click, but I get the 0x00000011b when I try to double click or connect.

I think I did try this fix before with similar result.

 

[RobertX]

For me, it works if I share and attach the printer from Windows 10. After which, I can connect to the printer attached to Windows 10 on Windows 11. Both had to use garlin's REG file for this to work.

However, the other way around is not true; Windows 11 cannot share the printer for Windows 10 to access it through SMB, even with the REG file. It gives a 0x709 (abbreviated because i forgot how many zeroes there are) error.

Have you tried enabling SMB guest access on the W11 host?

powershell "Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableInsecureGuestLogons $true -Force"

 

[RobertX]

No, I'll try it.

Is there a different way to do that without involving the Powershell?

 

[garlin]

Hmmm, this option is missing from W11 even though it's still listed in the SMB2/SMB3 docs.

 

[RobertX]

The only way to do this is within Powershell?

EDIT: OK, well, I'm not butthurt over the prospect, but is it at least possible to put that in a script?

EDIT: garlin, when you say "guest SMB access," did you mean create a Guest account in Windows 11 that has no password?

EDIT: garlin, I figured out what you've been saying I should do. However, I already did enable Insecure Guest Logons on the registry. I did that because it was the only way for the Windows 11 computer to look up the shares of other computers in the network. I was having trouble with that since switching from Windows 11 Pro to Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024.

Thanks though.

Hi, i found this forum while searching for a solution to this problem. I did every step but im still cannot connect to the network printer.

My setup is as follow:
Printer connected to a Windows 11 25H2 via USB.
And then i had 3 more computers, Windows 11 25H2, and two with Windows 10.

Everything was working fine since last year, im pretty sure a Windows update changed something. And after that i cannot print from any network computer, only from the computer where the printer is connected via USB.

This is what i have in the main computer and also in the other computer with Windows 11 that is trying to connect:






And this is the error i get when i try to connect from a different computer:

As far as I know, Windows now needs password protected user account if you are using local user account. maybe thats the problem? (it was for me on local home network, I wasn't able to share folders)

You can share folders without a password, but W11 network security now requires you to change so many different settings to permit it. Sometimes it's just easier to create a password to avoid the headaches.
