Windows 10: Microsoft printing to Shared Printers Username and Password and 0x0000011b

Good dayIt seems that the Microsoft printing is still not resolved, or new issues are popping up.We have reloaded 4 machines with Windows 10 November 2021 build. 2 of the devices have printers connected to their USB ports and are shared without passwords. All 4 devices are set to Private. All updates are done. The registry entry RpcAuthnLevelPrivacyEnable = 0 are set on all 4 devices.When connecting to the shares resources with \\computername it asks for a username and password. No login credentials work.My experience say this is a shared level problem and not a printer problem. I have d

Windows 10 Home Won't Print to Remote Printer


I have three computers.
Machine 1: Windows 10 pro, has the USB Brother HL-5040 printer
Machine 2: Windows 10 pro, prints OK to the remote printer.
Machine 3: Windows 10 home, Used to print, but not anymore (THIS IS THE PROBLEM).
I’ve tried everything that I can think of, and would appreciate any suggestions.
I did these steps on Machine 3 that did not work.

1. Remove the printer device.
2. Add a Printer
3. The printer that I want isn’t listed
4. Select a shared printer by name
5. Browse
6. Select the displayed Machine 1.
7. Select the displayed Printer.
8. Next
9. Failure “Connect to Printer”.
10. Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or Hostname
11. Next
12. Set Hostname to Machine 2, and set port name.
13. Detecting TCP/IP Port
14. Additional Port information required.
15. Device Type – Standard, Brother Port Server
16. Next
17. Detecting the Driver Model
18. Install The Print Driver
19. Select Brother and Brother HL-5040
20. Next
21. Replace the Current Driver
22. Printer Name (setting it to HL-5040)
23. Next
24. Do not share this printer
25. Next
26. You’ve successfully added “HL-5040”
27. Finish

Printing on Machine 3 puts the document in the print queue, which reports error printing.
Printing from Machine 2 to the printer on Machine 1 works perfectly.
All three machines are in the same HomeGroup. Machine 3 can access the shared files from Machine 1.

 

Windows 10 and inability to share USB-attached printer

Hi LuvMyPC,

When sharing a USB- connected printer to the network, the printer and the computer where the printer is connected should be on when you're trying to print as the printer will not be available when the computer sleeps or when it is shut down. If you have
enabled a password protected sharing, then only the users on your network who has the username and password of the computer where the printer is connected will be able to print.

Since you already have shared the printer, then make sure the printer and the computer are both on before you try to connect to it from the other computer. To connect to the printer, follow these steps:

1. Open Settings > Devices > Printer & scanner.
2. Click the + sign to add a printer.
3. Once your shared printer shows up, click it to proceed with the installation.
4. In case your printer is not on the list, then click the link The printer that I want isn't listed to show other options in adding the printer.
   
5. Click the option Select a shared printer by name, then browse for the name of the computer where the printer is connected.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions.

I will be waiting for your feedback.

Regards.
