0x00000bcb Error Adding Network Printer Share Windows
If you have attempted to add a network printer by double clicking on the sharename name \\server\PrinterShareName, and you’re getting 0x00000bcb error, it’s because of new Windows Security Updates.
Add the following DWORD on the PC having the issue (not server).
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\PointAndPrint
RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators
Value of DWORD 0
You can delete it after adding the printer
Thank you. This has been driving me mad for a year now and finally someone with a simple fix. This was also listed on Microsoft at one point but i think with everything else I was trying it’s become a mess of hot-fixes. Applying this one registry key fixed my problem instantly
Thank you, still working.
Working for me. I have no idea why our new laptops are giving this error…
Thank you very Much!
Thanks, It has made my day.
No key on W11
Great wor well, thank you Michal
Does it need to be done on Print server og Client PC?
Yes,
THANK YOU !!!
