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???

    Hello,

    Enabling All access and network discovery within a shared Public Network? That doesn't seems right. Until Windows update 22H2 it worked well within public space, even with network discovery off.

    I'm not comfortable with above suggestion. Is there a real solution to this? Thanks.

    It's not the solution. I have tried and I am facing the same problem as you. Everything was working well prior to this updated. I was even able to print a document before my PC restarted to install the update. I can see the PC server and the printer whenever I try to add/install it but it always ends up with an error.

    I reached out to Microsoft 2x about this and they also can't help me. They wanted to suggest I do an in-place upgrade which would take a lot of time and I do not have it since this is my office PC that is constantly used throughout the work day. I was told to wait for a new update that would hopefully fix this problem which I believe is a bug in their upgrade.

    I am still checking this forum and looking for some forum online that can give me a solution. I hope someone can give us an answer for this.
