Printer isolation is a feature that runs the printer driver in a separate process to prevent it from crashing the entire print spooler service. While generally beneficial, misconfigurations or conflicts with this setting, especially after Windows updates, can sometimes contribute to connection errors like 0x0000011b. Adjusting this setting is less common for this specific error, but it's a potential area to consider if other fixes fail.
