Windows cannot connect to the printer.

ilyc -  
Hello,
I have an Epson LX-350 printer installed on a computer (Windows 10) that I shared so that others can use it. I am encountering a problem when I try to install the printer on another workstation; an error message appears saying that Windows cannot connect to the printer, the operation failed with error 0x0000011b. I saw in a YouTube video that I needed to uninstall the KB 5005565 update from the computer where the printer is installed and from the one where I want to install the printer again, which I did, but the same error message appears (Windows cannot connect to the printer, the operation failed with error 0x0000011b), and I am not sure what to do anymore.

NB: the printer is shared and the other computers are running Windows 10

Thank you for your help.

    Following the September patch, shared printers are inaccessible:
    found on Google the trick to bypass the security:

    In the registry with regedit for example, you need to create, if it doesn't exist, at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print,

    the key: RpcAuthnLevelPrivacyEnabled in dword-32 format and set it to 0
    Restart Windows

      It worked for me too. Thank you because if we have to wait for Microsoft...
