0x00000006 error on adding server 2022 fax server

Question

I have a windows server 2022 standard (ver:10.0.20348.1194) with fax server role configured and fax printer shared too
in "windows fax and scan" program on clients (windows 7sp1 and 10) > tools menu>fax account>add>connect to fax server...>
when i type \servername >next>done it finished unsuccessfully without error (account list remain empty!!)
when i want to add shared fax server printer in client, add printer windows displayed:
windows cannot connect to the printer ,operation failed error 0x00000006.

i searched for this error on internet and try this solutions without any success:

1. Delete "Client Side Rendering Print Providers" key from HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers
2. remove Microsoft shared fax driver form Print Management
3. sfc /scannow
4. dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

i think the problem is in "windows server 2022 shared fax driver"
please help me solve this problem

best regards.

Answer 1

I've the same problem. Windows server 2022 standard, Fax-Server installed and when ich want to connect the client i got the error 0x00000006. Are there any solutions or workarounds? Many thanks for any Tipp

Answer 2

this is probably related to printnightmare,

anyways, adding shared faxes on windows 11 and other windows server 2022 works anything less fails.

Answer 3

I have the same problem with a 2022 server and multiple older but up to date Win 10 clients.

The one and only brand new Win 11 client has no problems to connect.

Answer 4

I have exactly the same problem: Windows 10 clients do not work with Windows 2022 FAX server.

Error 6 appears. Windows 11 has no problem with it.

Is there a solution for Windows 10 clients?

Answer 5

I confirm everything works fine with Windows 11 but nothing older. It must be because of the print nightmare patch.
