samba - Dec 2023 - Can't connect to CUPS printer from Windows 11

Hello!

I am trying to set up samba for file sharing and as a print server.
I can connect to the file shares from Windows 11, but the printer does
not work.

I have tried as far as I could understand 
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_Samba_as_a_Print_Server
and I have added the Group Policy Object mentioned in the bottom of that 
page.

The printer works over CUPS and bonjour.

The samba and CUPS machine runs as? 4.17.8-Raspbian
I haven't found much in the log files.

My smb.conf:



[global]

 ?? workgroup = WORKGROUP

local master = yes
preferred master = yes



 ?? interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 enxb827ebe6aede

domain master = yes

wins support = yes


dns proxy = yes

hostname lookups = yes


name resolve order = wins lmhosts host bcast

smb ports = 445 139 138 137




 ?? log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m


printcap = CUPS
printing = CUPS
load printers = no
 ?? max log size = 1000

 ?? logging = file

 ?? panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d


 ?? server role = standalone server

 ?? obey pam restrictions = yes

 ?? unix password sync = yes

 ?? passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
 ?? passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n 
*Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .

 ?? pam password change = yes

 ?? map to guest = bad user


[homes]
 ?? comment = Home Directories
 ?? browseable = no
 ?? read only = yes
 ?? create mask = 0700
 ?? directory mask = 0700
 ?? valid users = %S





[HP_DeskJet_2700_series]


use client driver = yes
comment = All Printers
browseable = yes
path = /var/tmp
printable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = yes
create mask = 0700
printer name = HP_DeskJet_2700_series


[print$]

comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
browsable = yes
read only = no
guest ok = yes
writeable = yes
directory mask = 0775
create mask = 0775
write list = @lpadmin, root
admin users = @lpadmin, root





[samba-share]
comment = Samba on Debian
valid users = user1, user2
path = /my/folder
read only = no
writable = yes
guest ok = no
hosts allow = 192.168.90.0/24 10.8.0.0/24 127.0.0.1
browsable = yes

[musik]
comment = Samba on Debian
valid users = user1, user2
path = /my/folder
read only = yes
guest ok = no
hosts allow = 192.168.90.0/24 10.8.0.0/24 127.0.0.1
browsable = yes
create mask = 0755

[mappen]
comment = Samba on Debian
valid users = user1, user2
path = /my/folder
writable = yes
guest ok = no
hosts allow = 192.168.90.0/24 10.8.0.0/24 127.0.0.1
browsable = yes
create mask = 0755

There was a missing registry key on my Windows 11.
Some Thomas Forde suggested:


        Registry Setting for the above GPO

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\RPC]

There are 2 values that can be configured:

|RpcUseNamedPipeProtocol| REG_DWORD

0: RpcOverTcp (default)
1: RpcOverNamedPipes


After addind this to my registry with regedit, I could connect to

my Samba printer using Windows 11
