Shared win11 printer not working with Microsoft account credentials

Label printer is on Windows 11 system and set for sharing. Been working fine for long time. Several windows 10 systems no longer see the printer due to Window 11, 22h2 update (My suspicion)

OK, read about the 22h2 problem and I had to enabled RPC connection. The shared printer now shows up on the windows 10 systems unlike before.

I was unable to connect to the shared printer. It rejected my microsoft login credentials. I created a local non-Microsoft account on my Windows 11 system, made it admin, and all of the windows 10 systems now connect just fine.

Why did it work with local account and not the Microsoft credentialed one?
