Hello everyone, I've been working on setting up my parents' printer on their local network for convenience, but Windows isn't allowing it. The printer is an Epson L3111 without Wi-Fi, so I'm trying to connect it over the network using the computer it's connected to via USB. All computers are running the latest Windows 10 updates, and the network sharing settings seem correct. However, whenever I try to connect on another machine, I keep seeing the 0x00011b error from Windows. I attempted to enable the RpcAuthnLevelPrivacyEnabled registry key on both the host and target devices, but it didn't resolve the issue. It's becoming frustrating, and I'm hoping someone can help me avoid buying a separate printer server for these devices. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
