    Windows 11 Won't Connect to Windows 10 Shared Printer


    I have a Windows 10 Pro machine trying to add a shared printer on a Windows 10 Pro machine. I am able to see the shared printer but When I try to connect it either says it can't find the printer or I get a general failure error with code 0x000004cf. The host Windows 10 machine is on version 21H2 and is current on all updates including drivers. The windows 11 machine is on version 22H2 and is current on all update including drivers. The host has 2 shared printers and I get the same errors no matter which I try to add. I have tried a variety of 'fixes' that I've found but nothing seems to work.
