The Second Way

- View installed updates by going to Program and Features > Program and Features > View Installed Updates.

Restart your computer to see if the problem persists. If it does, hide that update for a while and see what happens.
2] Tweak the Registry
CVE-2021-1678 mitigation is one of the reasons you may be seeing Error Code 0x0000011B. This is not a permanent solution, but you can try it while you wait for Windows to release a fix for this problem.
From the Start Menu, select Registry Editor. Go to the following address.
HKEY LOCAL MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetControlHKEY LOCAL MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetControl
Right-click Print and choose New > DWORD (32-bit) value. Name the newly created value “RpcAuthnLevelPrivacyEnabled,” set the Value data to zero, and then click OK.
You now restart the computer to see if the problem persists.
Method 3: On print servers, create new printer queues.
Some users also reported that removing and reinstalling printers on the print server resolved their issue.
When you remove the printer and reinstall it as an administrator, the queues are rebuilt, potentially allowing printing to resume.
Workstations, on the other hand, may need to be reconfigured to use the new printer queue, which may be a time-consuming task for some organizations.
Turn on Copy Files (HP printers only).
Microsoft deactivated the Copy Files feature by default in September 2021, but some HP printers continue to use it. There is, however, a way to manually enable it again:
- Enter ‘reg’ in the search bar next to the Start menu to launch the Registry Editor.
- Click ‘Yes’ to confirm that you agree to allow changes to your device.
- Navigate to ‘HK LOCAL MACHINESoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindowsNTPrinters’ in the address bar at the top of the window that appears.
- Choose New > from the context menu when you right-click anywhere on the white screen. ‘CopyFilesPolicy’ is the key name for this key.
- Double-click the ‘Default’ file and set its ‘Value data’ to 1.
- To confirm, click ‘OK,’ then restart your device to apply the changes.
