After updating older machines (2 yrs old) to the new version of windows 11(had previous version of windows 11 installed) or setting up new machines purchased earlier this month that have the new version of windows 11 installed I am no longer able to add printers from my print server. The error message I get is:

Operation cannot be completed (error 0x00000709). Double check the printer name and make sure that the printer is connected to the network. Has anyone else encountered this issue and is there a fix???

    Tried all the suggestions above, plus some from other searches for days and nothing worked. Meanwhile all the changes really created a lot of other problems on my Acer Aspire. I finally resorted to System Recovery in settings (keeping all files but re-installing Windows) and went skiing. When I came back (much calmer) I timidly (with fingers crossed) restarted my PC and proceded to set it up like a new device. Had to upload some programs, set up the email accounts etc but laptop acted like new. I was resigned to no printer (which did work off my Android phone all along) and did not even re-install the software (HP 3830) but suddenly it was there & printed flawlessly. Makes no sense but now I can do my income tax!

    Thanks all for your input! This topic, together with blog post about printer error 0x00000709 helped me fix this issue. Finally. I did not realize I also had to do some settings on the sharing computer :D

    I tried everything, did not worked.

    It was a network printer. I had to install the printer via cmd as admin with this command:

    rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /n"\ServerName\PrinterName"
