Hi,
After installing KB5005613 security update to our print server (Windows Server 2012 R12) smb-printing has stopped working on out MacOS devices. It seems that smb authentication is not working anymore. Anyone else have this trouble? A solution for this issue would be great.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.6
Updated workaround:
An additional temporary workaround is listed below, which allows customers to install the security fix. As detailed on the Microsoft KB, one temporary alternative to get printing working again is to:
Add a new registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\RpcAuthnLevelPrivacyEnabled (type DWORD)
Set the new key value to 0.
Restart the Print Spooler service.
This should allow Windows clients and macOS clients to print to the Windows Print Server, as before.

Searching that KB seems to indicate a Windows. problem.
