Always getting same error 0x00000bc4 NO PRINTERS WERE FOUND. I have set RPC Connection settings to ENABLED. RPC OVER NAMED PIPES.Still no use, it simply doesn't connect to the Network Printers.The PC Sharing the Printer is Running on Windows 10.

Windows 11 Error message 0x00000709 when trying to install shared printer

Hi Cindy,

If this issue has surfaced after installing the v22H2 update, then the following article applies:

• Fix: Printer Error 0x00000bc4 or 0x00000709 in Windows 11
  
• Thomas Førde on Twitter: "Printer issue finally resolved. A brand new printer policy in Win11 22H2 is the culprit
  

 

My Windows 11 Home Edition cannot print on shared printer after the windows update done.

For Windows 11 Home Edition, try the registry edit (equivalent to the Group Policy setting) mentioned on this page:

Fix: Printer Error 0x00000bc4 or 0x00000709 in Windows 11 22H2

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\RPC]

There are 2 values that can be configured:

RpcUseNamedPipeProtocol REG_DWORD

0: RpcOverTcp (default)
1: RpcOverNamedPipes

Also, see Eko Suprianto's post here for the additional settings if your Windows 11 22H2 is acting as the host (i.e., print server)

It's a known issue in Windows 11 22H2. Setting “Configure RPC Connection settings” GPO to “RPC over named pipes” fixes the issue.
