To enable a Windows 7 32-bit client to connect, the crucial step is on the print server: 1. Open the Registry Editor (`regedit.exe`). 2. Navigate to `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print`. 3. Right-click in the right-hand pane, select 'New' > 'DWORD (32-bit) Value'. 4. Name the new value `RpcAuthnLevelPrivacyEnabled`. 5. Double-click the newly created value and set its 'Value data' to `0` (zero). 6. Close Registry Editor. 7. Restart the 'Print Spooler' service via `services.msc` or reboot the server. This change will allow the Windows 7 client to bypass stricter authentication requirements.
