Hey guys,

Well i am facing this problem on Windows 11. On windows 10 i know that Micorosft did mess it all up with that broken update KB5006670.
However, i face this issue now on Windows 11. And update KB5006670 is not installed in Windows 11.
Someone knows how to fix this?

    Hello @Roy Hoenen ,

    Thank you for your question.

    There is a topic that addresses a problem with this specific error, regarding the printer, I recommend that you take a look at it in the link below:

    In addition, I ask you to post your question within the windows 11 forum, because there you will receive guidance from the team of this new edition of windows, in a more targeted way.
