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 11 22H2Printer issues slove
Printer issues are back at it on Windows 11 22H2 as well
Start => Search => Local Group Policy Editor => Computer Configuration => Administrative Templates => Printers => Configure RPC connection settings => Enabled => RPC over named pipes => Apply => Ok => Restart your PC
Try and see, hopefully this may can help you this.
this method only applies if windows 11 22H2 as a client, if as a printer sharing server then there are additional settings that must be done
if your windows 11 22H2 is a printer sharing server, then you should try to enable these 2 ways
Configure RPC listener settings => change protocol : RPC over named pipes and TCP
Printer Browsing
good luck...
hi, after several trials and errors combining several fixes people suggested here, this is how i got mine to work.
For host (printer server)
if using Windows 11 Home Edition, open regedit then go to HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\RPC
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), RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators value data: 0
add new > DWORD(32), RpcAuthnLevelPrivacyEnabled value data: 0
For client side
that's all, i'm using Canon G2010 printer, both machines are running windows 11 22h2, hope this help.
error showing
In the end I found after reading every fix I did the following:
Host PC with printer to share.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\PointAndPrint
RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators = 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print
RpcAuthnLevelPrivacyEnabled = 0
run gpedit.msc
Computer > config > admin templates > printers
Configure RPC listener settings enable RPC over named pipes and TCP
printer browsing enabled
on the shared printer settings uncheck "render print jobs on client computers"
reboot!
on PC client connecting to printer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\PointAndPrint
RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators = 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print
RpcAuthnLevelPrivacyEnabled = 0
run gpedit.msc
Computer > config > admin templates > printers
Configure RPC connection settings enable RPC over named pipes
reboot!
Now the printer sharing works!
