A client purchased a Windows 11 Pro PC and his printers are not showing up on the Terminal Server that is running Server 2012 R2. We tried connecting a different Windows 11 Pro pc to a different server that is running Server 2012 R2 and had the same issue. Is there a fix for this?

    Make sure your Windows Server and Windows 11 are fully updated.
    From what you explained, I believe this is a bug and I advise you to open start and search for feedback and open the Feedback Hub app and report this issue.
    Try contact the printer's manufacturer support and report this issue to them.

    Hi @DennyDude

    Yes, this is a known issue with Windows 11 "Connections to printers shared via print server might encounter errors."

    This has been resolved in this hotfix https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/november-22-2021-kb5007262-os-build-22000-348-preview-7f3e18d7-4189-4882-b0e9-afc920253aee

    You can also find this in the Resolved issues in Windows 11 article
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/resolved-issues-windows-11-21h2

    Would be a good idea to run Windows Update, to see if there is anything pending and also check if the KB5003538 update is present on the device, if it is, remove it from the system and see if that sorts the issue.

    Hope this resolves your Query!!
