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???

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Windows update

    This worked perfectly. Thank you very much.

    Win 11 22H2 Pro was host, Win 10 clients was having error connecting with 0x00000709. Doing the additional steps you mentioned resolved the entire problem even though RPC was enabled at first.

    hi, after several trials and errors combining several fixes people suggested here, this is how i got mine to work.

    For host (printer server)

    1. use the gpedit fix by opening gpedit then go to Computer Configuratino > Administrative Templates > Printers : a. configure RPC connection settings, select enabled and choose RPC over named pipes 
       if using Windows 11 Home Edition, open regedit then go to HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\RPC
      add new > DWORD(32), RpcUseNamedPipeProtocol value data : 1 b. configure RPC listener settings, select enabled and choose RPC over named pipes and TCP 
       if using Windows 11 Home Edition, open regedit then go to HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\RPC
      add new > DWORD(32), RpcProtocols value data : 7
    2. open regedit then : a. in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\PointAndPrint 
       add new > DWORD(32), RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators value data: 0
      b. in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print 
       add new > DWORD(32), RpcAuthnLevelPrivacyEnabled value data: 0
    3. reboot PC

    For client side

    1. use the gpedit fix by opening gpedit then go to Computer Configuratino > Administrative Templates > Printers : a. configure RPC connection settings, select enabled and choose RPC over named pipes b. if using Windows 11 Home Edition, open regedit then go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\RPC add new > DWORD(32), RpcUseNamedPipeProtocol value data : 1
    2. reboot PC

    that's all, i'm using Canon G2010 printer, both machines are running windows 11 22h2, hope this help.
