Thanks for the tip. I had uninstalled the update and paused my updates until somebody could find a solution.

Yup, I did the same thing. It's great to be able to print again.

Did the registry patch work for you TV2?

Work is taking up all my time. I have updates paused on my main machine. I plan to do it as soon as I can get some time. Maybe Friday.

From the looks of it I think you found a solution! I'd give you more rep but I have to spread some love around first.

Got to it today.
The registry patch works with KB5005565 installed. The remote clients can print to both printers that are connected to the host PC via USB cables.
Thanks to nikki605 for finding that.

Hopefully Microsoft will find a better way to close the security vector while enabling this basic functionality. They have certainly heard about it.

My concern is that the next cumulative update will remove this manual registry patch and we'll have to re-enter it.

I don't think so.
I actually made the registry change the night before last. Then installed KB50055655 the next day when I had access to the client PCs. Of course I checked afterward and the setting remains as is.

Now W10 feature updates and Windows 11 could be a whole new ballgame.

today i finally managed to get every pc to print via a shared printer. I used WUSHOWHIDE, which was on the official Microsoft website until 6 months ago. It works by blocking unwanted updates. first the KB5005565 is deleted from pc and then the wushowhide application is launched in which it is selected to do the same update or if you want another one. and do that on both the host and the remote pc and that's it! you also have a video on YT on how to do it! very simple!

Consider that you lose out on all the fixes in KB5005565 by blocking it vs doing the registry fix on just the single print server PC only as @nikki605 posted above.

Exactly. Originally, I had uninstalled and hid KB5005565 so I could remote print. Because of the other security fixes in the update, I wanted it installed so that's why I went with the registry patch and reinstalled the update.

I am having this exact same problem.

1. Printing to a network printer does not work - after a while, the print list window shows the job as "Access denied".

2. I tried deleting and re-adding the printer... bad mistake, It would not even let me add the printer "Operation could not be completed error 0x0000011b".

3. I came to this thread and found the information about KB5005565. I uninstalled the updates (had to do it on all the sending computers and the receiving computer).

4. That seemed to fix it until the next day, when it happened again. Win 10 had updated and KB5005565 had been installed again. Grrrrr!

5. Downloaded wushowhide.diagcab and hid KB5005565 from updates, but within a few days, it ignored my ignore and updated again!

6. I have currently put all updates on pause until this issue is resolved.

Do Microsoft ever bother to actually check if these updates are going to cause issues before unleashing them on the unsuspecting public. With several computers and network printers to manage, this has caused me a lot of extra work I could have done without.

Its the lesser of two evils. Choose between

(a) Lose out on whatever KB5005565 has to offer.

(b) Spend all day running around several computers (all of which are used full time, 8am to 6pm six days a week) trying to get their operators to give me an hour to fix it. This involves the operator saving all their work, closing off their job cards and logging out of their computer. Then I have to login, uninstall KB5005565 and restart. Once that is done, and I confirm its all working, I can hand the computer back to the user, and go to the next user and repeat the process. I have to do that another five times

I choose (a)
