Troubleshoot

Problem solving with Windows 11 (November 2022): "Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000709):
Solution:

Do not install any Kyocera Windows 10 drivers as they will not work. (If at some point Windows 11 drivers will be officialy released, use them.) When asked for a driver, select "Microsoft" and next "Standard PS driver"
Change settings: open "Local Group Policy Editor", navigate to "Administrative Templates → Printers → Configure RPC connection settings". Change "Protocol to use for outgoing RPC connections" to "RPC over named pipes".
