    Windows 11 22H2: network printing switched to RCP over TCP


    Microsoft changed the default print related communication for client server communications in Windows 11 version 22H2.

    Systems use RCP over TCP by default on Windows 11 version 22H2 devices and no longer RCP over Named Pipes. The change may affect how Windows devices communicate during printing and printing related operations.

    It should not have an impact on most Home setups, where printers are connected directly to a Windows PC. Windows organizations and users who print over a network, e.g., using a dedicated print server or connections to another computer for printing, may have run into issues after upgrading the client to the Windows 11 2022 Update because of the change.

    Microsoft states that the switch improves the "overall security of printing in Windows" by enforcing "newer and more secure communication methods". By default, clients and servers listen for incoming connections using RPC over TCP.

    Options to customize print related communications are provided for administrators. Administrators may change the default configuration using the Group Policy or the Windows Registry; this includes switching to RPC over Named Pipes for printing communication and configuring the spooler server to also listen for RPC over Named Pipes communication.

    Microsoft published a support document that provides administrators with guidelines to change the default way printers communication on Windows 11 version 22H2 devices.

    Here are instructions for using RPC over Named Pipes:

    Use RPC over Named Pipes for client – server communication

    Enable by using Group Policy:

    • Path: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Printers > Configure RPC connection Settings
    • Enable and set to RpcOverNamedPipes.

    Enable the setting by using the registry:

    • Run reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\RPC" /v RpcUseNamedPipeProtocol /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

    Enable listening for incoming connections on RPC over Named Pipes

    Enable via Group Policy:

    • Path: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Printers > Configure RPC listener settings
    • Enable and set protocols allowed to be used to RpcOverNamedPipesAndTcp.

    Enable the setting via the registry:

    • Run reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\RPC" /v RpcProtocols /t REG_DWORD /d 0x7 /f

    Use a specific port for RPC over TCP communication (Max port: 65535)

    Enable via Group Policy:

    • Path: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Printers > Configure RPC over TCP port Enable and set the port number

    Enable the setting via the registry

    • Run reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\RPC" /v RpcTcpPort /t REG_DWORD /d <port number> /f

    Enforce Kerberos authentication

    Enable via Group Policy:

    • Path: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Printers > Configure RPC listener settings
    • Enable and set the authentication protocol allowed to be used to Kerberos.

    Enable the setting via the registry

    • Run reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\RPC" /v ForceKerberosForRpc /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

    Administrators may customize the default printing behavior to restore the status quo..

    Basic print server

    looks promising, and easy to configure.

    Now as you know wifi devices can be versatile (signal loss, security breach to your home network if improperly secured), this should be taken in account.

    plus as a reviewers said, adding a tcp/ip printing port within xp/vista is simple, in case you MP830 is not in the white list of this device.

    win 11 22h2 update printer issue

    Exactly the same issue as Win 10 print nightmare patch- I was able to browse to printer using ip on Win 10 but that doesn't work (permission issue?) on Win 11 home 22h2! The suggestion to reload windows is laughable as this happens right from brand new!
