I am trying to connect a printer through Windows 11 using the Printer Sharing option.

It is a local network of 3 Windows 11 24H2 computers on all of them I already have:
  • Private Network Profile
  • Enabled file and printer sharing
  • Enabled network discovery
  • Public folder sharing enabled
  • Disabled password protected sharing

Being:
PC where I share the printer: SRVPaty
PCs where I want to connect the shared printer: PC1 and PC2

On PC1 and PC2 I can access without problems to PC1, PC2 and SRVPaty from file explorer and the printer appears in the shared resources by SRVPaty, but when I try to connect I get an error “Could not connect to the printer”.

When I try to access PC1 and PC2 from the SRVPaty file explorer, PC1 and PC2 do show up but trying to access I get an error “0x80070035”, “Network path not found.”

Thank you for your attention, I hope you can help me :)
