Connect printer sharing from win 11 error 0x00000775

If you're experiencing the error code 0x00000775 when trying to share printers from Windows 11 to clients using other operating systems (such as Windows 10), and you have already tried updating, adding, removing printers, as well as running SFC scan and DISM repair, here are a few additional suggestions you can try:



1. Check Network and Firewall Settings: Ensure that the network settings on both the Windows 11 PC and the client computers are properly configured. Verify that they are connected to the same network and can communicate with each other. Additionally, check firewall settings on both ends to ensure that they are not blocking printer sharing. Temporarily disabling the firewall on both the Windows 11 PC and the client computer can help determine if it's causing the issue.



2. Printer Driver Compatibility: Verify that the printer drivers installed on the Windows 11 PC are compatible with the client operating systems (e.g., Windows 10). Sometimes, certain printer drivers may not be fully compatible with older operating systems, resulting in connectivity issues. Visit the printer manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers specifically designed for the client operating systems. Install those drivers on the Windows 11 PC and try sharing the printers again.



3. Printer Spooler Service: Restart the Printer Spooler service on both the Windows 11 PC and the client computers. Open the Services app by searching for it in the Start menu, locate the "Print Spooler" service, right-click on it, and select "Restart." Restarting the Printer Spooler can resolve any issues related to print queues or spooler errors.



4. Group Policies: Check if there are any group policies in place that may be preventing printer sharing between different operating systems. Group policies can restrict printer access or cause connectivity issues. Consult with your network administrator or IT department to review and adjust the group policies if necessary.



5. Network Printer Sharing: Consider setting up the printers as network printers instead of relying on direct sharing from the Windows 11 PC. Connect the printers to your network and configure them with unique IP addresses. Then, install the printers on the client computers using the IP addresses. This approach eliminates any compatibility issues related to direct printer sharing and allows for more consistent connectivity across different operating systems.



If none of these suggestions resolve the issue, you may want to reach out to Microsoft support or the printer manufacturer's support for further assistance. They can provide more specific guidance based on the exact error code and your specific environment.

 

Can't share printer—getting error message

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

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.
