I had an HP printer that was made circa 2006, and it finally stopped working a few weeks ago, of course it happened right when I need to be sending W-9s/1099s out. Anyway I got a new printer and spun up a new Windows 11 VM to install a print server on (Papercut).
I had a heck of a time getting the printer to share across the network (without a password) and I finally gave up and created a local account specifically for the purpose. I couldn't figure out how to create a local account in Windows 11, so I just used CMD to do it.
I went ahead and installed 24H2 as well, it took a long time for it to install.
If your wondering what version of Windows 11 you have, you can use CMD and type "winver" to find out by the way.

Not sure I've mentioned it in this thread yet or not, but Proxmox is a much more friendly way to run Windows 11, you have virtual TPMs built it, and you can "hot pull" the NIC during the install, to bypass the online account thing.
