Microsoft has released a cumulative out-of-band update to fix a known printing issue preventing some printers and scanners from working correctly.

"Noncompliant printers, scanners, and multifunction devices might not work when you use smart card authentication. This issue occurs after you install the July 13, 2021 update on domain controllers in your environment."

Microsoft has also released the KB5005392 OOB update to address the printing issues on Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 devices.

Affected Windows 10 users are advised to first check if they have the latest drivers and firmware installed for non-compliant and misbehaving printers or scanners.

If the devices are up-to-date, impacted users should contact the device manufacturer and ask for setting changes or updates to make the printer or scanner compliant with the CVE-2021-33764 hardenings deployed via July's Windows 10 security updates.

Microsoft is still working to mitigate the issue on all affected Windows versions to re-enable printing and scanning on impacted devices.
