Fix: Printer Error 0x00000bc4 or 0x00000709 in
Windows 11 22H2
After updating Windows 11 to
version 22H2, your network printers may stop working. Also, the error
code 0x00000bc4 (Desc: ERROR_PRINTER_NOT_FOUND) or 0x00000709 (Desc: ERROR_INVALID_PRINTER_NAME) appears when adding a new network printer.
Operation
could not be completed (error 0x00000bc4).
No
Printers Were Found.
The printer name is invalid.
Cause
Windows 11 version 22H2
introduced a new group policy named “Configure RPC Connection settings.” This
policy setting controls which protocol and protocol settings to use for
outgoing RPC connections to a remote print spooler.
The default
setting in 22H2 blocks Windows from finding your network printers. This causes
your existing printers to be erased, and adding them manually causes the error
0x00000bc4.
Setting “Configure RPC
Connection settings” to “RPC over named pipes” fixes the issue.
Solution
To fix the network printer
error 0x00000bc4, try these steps:
1.
Launch the Local
Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc)
2.
Go to the
following section:
Administrative Templates → Printers → Configure RPC
connection settings
3.
Select “RPC over
named pipes” from the dropdown, and click OK.
4.
Exit the Group
Policy Editor.
Registry Setting
for the above GPO
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
NT\Printers\RPC]
There are 2 values that can be
configured:
RpcUseNamedPipeProtocol REG_DWORD
0: RpcOverTcp (default)
1: RpcOverNamedPipes

issue finally resolved. A brand new printer policy in Win11 22H2 is the
culprint. "RPC Connection settings. Need to change over to Named Pipes and
it works again.#msintune #Memcm pic.twitter.com/7xPS7Xxs0o
