After reinstalling Windows 10 on my Windows 7 computer, I get an error 0x0000709 when connecting to a network printer shared by my Windows XP system computer via IP. I have tried restarting the print service, changing the registry, uninstalling updates, and connecting via the add port, but it doesn't work. I've tried almost everything on the search engines, so help me please!

Hello,
Do you see printer from Win10 if you try to brows WinXP with \name or \ip_address in File Explorer?
Do you see printer from WinXP if you try to brows same PC with \name or \ip_address in File Explorer?
Are bothe PC in same Group/Domain?
Also see the link below, someone solved the problem with the same error:

Hi! Thank you for answering me.
I can see the printer in Win10, but I can't connect it. When I brows WinXP with \IP_address in File Explorer, I can connect the PC successfully. But when I try to connect to the printer, I get the error 0x00000709.
Both of the PC are in the same Group.
I have read the link and tried it before I ask this question, but it doesn't work.
Also, other PCs in the same Group can connect the printer correctly. Some of them are Win10, and others are Win7.When I try to creat a localport to connect the printer, I can connect it. But when I want to print a document, the printer is unresponsive.
