Windows 10: Undo denying Everyone access to the printer

I had a problem and look everywhere and can't find the solution I want.

my problem was:

I set Deny access to Everyone to my connected printer, thinking admins would still reach it. Now I cannot even see the printer on the control panel or any print window. I try to change the owner security but didn't work.


now I think have the solution and I want to share :

1. Back up your pc or server ...
2. open Regedit win+R and write Regedit
3. go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\printers\
4. find your printer have security problem and click on it
5. find security reg and export file>export to your desktop and after export keep a copy for backup
6. find a printer that doesn't have a security problem and export security like above
7. open security.reg #6 by notepad and search this "Security"
8. copy from =hex: ... until before "QueueInstanceId"
9. open security.reg #5 by notepad and search this "Security"
10. replace copy from =hex: ... until before "QueueInstanceId"
11. saved as security.reg
12. go to #3 and 4 delete security and import #11 to #4
13. restart your pc
14. now you can edit the security tab

Old printer installation gives Status:Error

Denis - I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean by: " I suggest you click on your Start menu's HP group..."

However, I carried out your steps 2 and 3 and removed the printer then restarted the PC and the printer returned so nothing achieved. Could you please elaborate on step 1, thanks.
