Windows 10: Cannot connect to shared printer with error 0x0000052f

A Ricoh C250dn W10 compatable printer is connected to my router and shared from my desktop W10 Pro 20H2 pc. The printer was connected to a Dell Win Pro 1909 laptop and printing until I upgraded my desktop from 1909 to 20H2 a couple yesterday. At that time the Dell laptop lost its connectivity to the shared printer showing no ports A W10 Pro 20H2 Levovo laptop is still connected and printing.


I upgraded the Dell from 1909 to 20H2 today, after which the Ricoh printer was gone altogether. Adding the printer to the Dell via the shared network name gets a "connecting to <printer name> on <desktop>" and then get a "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Connection failed with error 0x0000052f" Workgroup is HOME on all three machines and a powershell Get-NetConnectionProfile is Private.


I believe 0x0000052f is "Logon failure: user account restriction". All three pc's have netplwiz "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" checked and have NO password, therefore each pc boots without requiring a logon. Password protected sharing is turned on for All Networks. These are the settings that have been in place for years since Win7 and until I upgraded the desktop from 1909 to 20H2 the Ricoh printer was shared and worked on the Dell and in fact, still does on the Lenovo??

Can't share printer—getting error message

Step 1: Go to store.
Step 2: Buy a less shitty printer.
Step 3: Pick up some beer while you are there.
Step 4: Enjoy both your new printer and your beer.

In all seriousness, I have had more issues with Lexmark printers and their shitty drivers then any other manufacturer, HP is a close second though.

However, if you don't want to get a new printer*Laugh :laugh:, and I can understand that, when my Lexmark was giving me the same troubles in Win7(and Vista) I had to make sure the Windows firewall was ON and the firewall service was enabled and running. After I shared it I could re-disable the firewall and firewall services.

Yeah, I have windows firewall disabled, and I don't use any other firewall... mostly to prevent stupid issues like this.

None taken... and yeah, I do.

 

Can't share printer—getting error message

Not working... I see the printer, but when I go to add it, I get this messge: "Windows could not connect to the printer (error 0x0000000d)."

I installed the 32-bit drivers for it and printed something out from the pc the printer is connected to, and I went to the additional drivers page and added drivers for 64-bit, and when I went to add the printer on the other machine, it copied drivers over, but after that I got the error message listed above...
