Possible printer issue with KB5005565

I am back to being broken again after the H2 update. Where can I download the win32spl.dll V1237? Current version after the latest update is V1320. Anything is worth a try at this point.

I can message you a copy if you like

The KB5007253 update got me working again but not without some tweaks. I had to add the "RpcAuthnLevelPrivacyEnabled" = 0 described earlier in this thread. I added on both of my machines but it may work if you just add it on the host machine. I rebooted both machines and got the 0x0000016b printer install error which is farther than I was able to get before. Deleting the printer off of the machine that has the USB connection and then reinstalling the printer did the trick. You do have to go into the printer settings and share it again after the reinstall. After rebooting both machines I am finally able to print again. For now :)

I installed the KB5007253 update on the print server (host PC with USB attached printer).
Remote PC (client) still can't install this printer.
Remote PC does not have KB5007253 installed. That will be next.

FYI: When I 'Add A Printer', and choose "Select a Shared Printer by Name", I can find the printer on the Host. It's when I click Next that the error message comes up "Can't Connect to the Printer".

For me it was only a client problem, since my network printer is not on windows, but on Linux using Samba, so dont know if the issue will be on a printserver running windows. My problem was i could not even install the printer on my windows. My printer stopped working, and i have been seaching everywhere, in the configuaration to find out windows update was the problem My computer could find the printer, but in the end could not print a test page, later i could not even add the printer anymore, but after the last update everything works smooth again :) But I think Microsoft used to long time to fix the problem! Some people said 3 months, I was a couple of updates behind, so I did not have the issue for more than 3 weeks or so .

So you are saying that after I install KB5007253 on the Client PC everything should work as expected.
I will see!
I'm doing things deliberately here so I can be sure where in the chain the problem gets solved.

Yes i will think it works after you installed the update at the Client, in my case the server was never the problem, cause it did not run windows, and Windows 7 printet fine on the same printer at the Linux server. Still my client pc windows 10 failed, but after the update, no problems to add the printer (before i got the message could not connect to printer), but after update, it works perfect :) hope if will work smooth for you too :)
