not sure if answered yet-- but i had one laptop do this
I ran all the windows updates and it fixed the issues.
just a FYI
Error 0x0000011b - No Workgroup Printer access - it worked yesterday!
My PC is connected via a Workgroup to my wife's PC - her PC is wired to our printer.
When I send a document for printing - it appears on the printer queue on my PC but the Status is blank - then after about a minute it disappears from my printer queue - but nothing prints.
Looking at our Network, I can see the printer but cannot Connect to Printer - Operation failed with error 0x0000011b
In the mean time, on my PC, I have deleted the link to our printer and now cannot re-install, as the wizard cannot locate the printer via the network.
Recent Windows Updates Installed
12-09-2021 - KB2310138 (Version 1.349.599.0)
14-09-2021 - KB2310138 (Version 1.349.704.0)
15-09-2021 - KB2310138 (Version 1.349.766.0)
15-09-2021 - KB890830 (v5.93)
Any simple work around or an update from Microsoft - would us minions receive an indication of a Microsoft correction or would we learn by osmosis?
Ideas Please

2021-09-16T14:20:51.047+00:00 Hi,
Additionally, you can check if Network Discovery is Disabled on your Computer. Network Discovery enables your computer to “see” other computers and devices within an network, and for those devices to “see” you. If this feature is disabled, you might not be able to see all available network printers. Click Start, type “network” in the Search box, and select “Network and Sharing Center.” Click “Change advanced sharing settings” on the left, and expand the “Home or Work” network profile. Click “Turn on network discovery” and click “Save changes.”
Kind regards,
