Windows Printer Error 0x00000709
What it means
"Operation could not be completed." It shows up when setting a default printer or connecting to a shared printer, and is usually caused by a default-printer registry setting or a stale printer entry rather than the printer itself.
A full step-by-step guide is on the way
We publish guides only after checking each step against the manufacturer's own documentation, so this one is still being written. In the meantime, if the code relates to a jam or an obstruction, switching the printer off, unplugging it for a minute, and checking for anything stuck resolves a large share of cases.
Different code or problem?
Switch off and unplug a printer before reaching inside it. If a fault involves the power supply or internal electronics, or the machine is under warranty, contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician. Full disclaimer.
