Microsoft has fixed multiple known issues impacting printing on Windows 11 with the release of the optional KB5006746 cumulative update preview on Thursday.
Windows 11 users can also manually download and deploy the cumulative update preview from the Microsoft Update Catalog.
Microsoft confirmed that KB5006746 fixes Windows 11 known issues causing printer installation fails and prompts for admin credentials before every attempt to print on systems commonly found in enterprise environments.
On systems where KB5006746 is not yet deployed, printing install attempts may not complete over the network on devices that access printers via print server using HTTP connections.
Installing printers on Windows devices not yet updated could also fail via the Internet Printing Protocol in orgs sharing an IPP printer using printer connections.
Impacted customers running earlier Windows versions can fix these printing issues by installing the September Patch Tuesday and October Patch Tuesday cumulative updates.
