Details: Operation failed with error 0x0000007e" or "Windows cannot connect to printer Operation failed with error 0x0000007e".

The error 0x0000007e is caused by a missing or corrupted printer driver. In most cases, the error occurs when you try to connect to a printer that is directly connected to another Windows computer (print server) and shared for printing from other computers over the network.

To fix printer error 0x0000007e, you can try the following steps:

  2. Uninstall any unsafe or incompatible third-party drivers. You can use a driver updater tool to scan your computer for outdated or corrupt drivers.
  3. Check if you have enough disk space. If your hard drive is low on space, it can prevent Windows from installing or updating printer drivers.
  4. Use the Registry Editor to delete the corrupted registry key. To do this, open the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and navigate to the following key:
    • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers\
