I was trying to connect to two 11 computers and the problem is still not solved. searching on line they say it was caused by an upgrade from Microsoft and I have tried all the solution they recommended to no avail. I am frustrated for an answer.
Cannot connect to a shared printer on the network Windows 11

2023-10-28T08:22:21+00:00 I just had the same issue with a client PC, removing McAfee pre installed antivirus on the PC sharing the printer fixed the issue. This was stopping me from downloading the driver on the other PC. After removal i could properly connect and use the shared printer.
