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

In Windows 11 22H2 and up, when you double-click
“Devices and Printers” from the classic Control Panel, it redirects you to the
Settings → Bluetooth & devices page. You may wonder how to access the
classic Device and Printers Control Panel applet.
In Windows 11 22H2 and higher, the old Devices and
Printers interface can still be accessed using one of the methods below.
Type the following command and click OK.
shell:::{A8A91A66-3A7D-4424-8D24-04E180695C7A}
Option 2: Via Settings
Open Settings.
Select “Bluetooth & devices” in the left pane.
Click “Devices” in the right pane.
Click “More devices and printer settings.”
Option 3: Using the Devices and Printers shortcut
icon
Open Control Panel (control.exe)
Select the “Small icons” view.
Right-click the “Devices and Printers” icon and
click Create shortcut.
Option 4: Add “Devices and Printers (Classic)”
icon to Control Panel.
To add “Devices and Printers (Classic)” to the
Control Panel, you can apply the following registry fix.
Download devices-and-printers-classic-cpl.reg(zipped)
Unzip and run the enclosed REG file.
Click Yes to confirm.
Close and reopen the Control Panel. The newly
added item will appear in the Category view as well as the “All Icons” view.
