When sharing a printer in Windows7, an error message appears: Unable to save printer settings cannot be completed (error 0x000006d9)
My solution is in the control panel Turn on the firewall. You can turn off the firewall after setting it up.
Running Services.msc must ensure that all the following services are started: Computer browser, Server, Print spooler.

Solutions
To resolve this issue, set the Windows Firewall service to Automatic and then start the service.
This issue occurs because the spooler service uses the Firewallapi.dll file for API calls to check the availability of the Windows Firewall service. The share is executed for the first time, and the pass is enabled during this process. The following rules are entered:
File and Printer Sharing (RPC EPMAP for Spooler Service)
File and Printer Sharing (RPC for Spooler Service)
文Share with printer (return request - in ICMPv4)
File and printer sharing (loopback request - in ICMPv6)

Note the first shared computer When the folder is on, the incoming rules will be the same.
