Yes, it's possible. Firewalls and antivirus programs can sometimes block communication between your Windows 11 PC and the printer. Temporarily disabling them and then attempting to connect to the printer can help diagnose if this is the cause. If it is, you'll need to configure your security software to allow printer communication.
