What if "Error 709" persists after checking permissions and network settings? Are there any advanced troubleshooting steps for Windows 11?

If basic steps don't resolve Error 709, consider these advanced options: 1. **Check Services:** Ensure "Print Spooler" and "Workstation" services are running on both host and client PCs. Open `services.msc` to check and restart them. 2. **Credential Manager:** On the client PC, go to `Control Panel > Credential Manager`, check "Windows Credentials," and remove any old or incorrect credentials related to the host PC or shared printer. 3. **Local Security Policy (Host PC):** Open `secpol.msc` and navigate to `Local Policies > Security Options`. Verify policies like "Network access: Let everyone permissions apply to anonymous users" (set to Enabled) and "Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts" (set to "Classic - local users authenticate as themselves"). 4. **Re-share Printer:** Unshare the printer on the host PC, restart the spooler service, and then re-share it with a slightly different, simpler name. 5. **Clean Driver Install:** On both host and client, remove all printer drivers and reinstall them.
