One of the most annoying issues with a Printer is the one where it refuses to get set up or configured on your computer. When it has configuration issues, one of the common errors that it throws is 0x00000709. This occurs if there is already a default printer set and configured or Windows does not want to configure the new printer at all.

This scenario happens due to a glitch that occurs in the registry settings. The registry keys prioritize the previous printer driver as the default one and prevent you from setting the current driver as default. It’s a common occurrence in Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11 operating systems. If you’ve encountered this error, don’t be anxious. A few tweaks in the settings or in the registry will remedy the situation.

Did you get the Printer Error 0x00000709 while attempting to set your default device accompanied with a message – “Operation could not be completed”.
