How to fix double check the printer name and make sure that the printer is connected to the network
It’s a known issue in Windows 11 22H2. This error occurs because the default connection method has changed in 22H2. Altering a setting in the Group Policy Editor resolves the issue.

For Windows 11 Home Edition, try the registry edit (equivalent to the Group Policy setting) mentioned on the above page:
[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
Also, see Eko Suprianto’s post here for the additional settings if your Windows 11 22H2 is acting as the host (i.e., print server)
