Windows 10: Can't Add Network Printer from Server - Error 0X00000709 Operation could not be completed

Every time I go to File Explorer and type in the server address of my printer, I see all the printers and when I double click on any of the printers I get the following error:


Operation could not be completed (error 0X00000709.)

Double check the printer name and make sure that the printer is connected to the network.


I have tried flushing DNS, ip release/renew, the printers are on functioning correctly, computer restart, powering on/off the printers, network settings, permissions, registry, ping by IP address, ping by printer name (both success) etc.


I just don't know what the problem is and seems to me that might be something in Windows 10.

Error operation could not be completed 0x00000709 when installing a network printer

Hello,

I have cut out most of the rambling that was here before,

When I install a printer through a network on Windows, error

operation could not be completed 0x00000709

comes up

 

Error operation could not be completed 0x00000709 when installing a network printer

Unfortunately that isn't the problem. The problem lies with the machine not being able to add the network printer. It has the drivers intalled already.

It comes up with this error code;

operation could not be completed 0x00000709

 

Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000709)

Hi

I've noticed this issue on multiple machines running windows 10, with a brother QL-570 printer installed to print labels. At first we had an issue with it resetting the printer settings to default. (We need to have this specified as shipping label.)

We created a script which would apply the print settings at the start-up which works great. We have put auto reboot scripts in place to reboot at 5am just to apply them before morning.

We are now getting the above error message, then when checking in devices and printers it is no longer there, but the driver is still installed.

Once we get them back up and running by installing etc, we notice they work fine for a couple of days, but is happening atleast once a week on 100+ devices.

Is it possible that somethign exists out there to stop the printer/windows changing the printer settings, i've not had too much in terms of research, or many people having this issue.

Thanks,
Matt.
