SMB 1.0 is an older file sharing protocol. Windows 10 and later often disable it for security reasons. Some older printers or network devices may require SMB 1.0. You can re-enable it (though it's not recommended for security) in Windows Features. Search for 'Turn Windows features on or off' and enable 'SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support'.
