How to Fix Error 0x709: Operation Could Not Be Completed – Fix for Windows 11 and 10
In Windows 11, starting with version 22H2, the network printing service has been changed from "RPC over Named Pipes" to "RPC over TCP." According to Microsoft, the new change is intended to help improve printer security by enforcing newer and more secure communication methods.
The only caveat is that the communication change may affect how the system connects to printers for the various operations, so the company also offers several methods to adjust the print service communication settings, including using the Group Policy Editor or Registry Editor to switch to "RPC over Named Pipes" for printer communication and the spooler server.
It is important to note that this change should not affect home printers that are connected directly to the computer. However, organizations that use print servers may experience problems. For this reason, Microsoft has also published documentation to help administrators revert to the previous settings.
