Right then, switched over from Win10 to Win 11. Have encountered the odd growing pain, most of which I've resolved, short of this one with my printer.

I have a Ricoh SP220SNW for a few year now. Been an absolute work horse. Never failed me with Win10. Win11 is another matter. I create a document to print, click on print and I receive an error message. To resolve it, I leave it in the print queue, go to the printer under Bluetooth and Devices and run the troubleshooter. This immediately prints document. When troubleshooter is done it reflects that no errors were found. This will resolve the printing issue until I shut the PC down for the day. The following day will be the same bloody routine.

I uninstalled and deleted everything for the printer and reinstalled the drivers and software, after a reboot. No new drivers or software exist specifically for Win11.... the same package as Win10. The new install did FA. Nothing, nada, zilch.

Ideas?

Cheers!
