Using the following techniques, you will be able to fix error 0X800f0214 while installing a printer on Windows 11/10 PC:

1. Run the Printer Troubleshooter

  • Click Settings.
  • Select Troubleshoot.

2. Reinstall the printer driver

The work of drivers is to ensure smooth interactions between the hardware and software of a windows PC. So corrupt or outdated drivers can result in the error 0X800f0214. To fix this error, go to your Printer manufacturer’s site and check for the recent printer driver updates. If there’s any, download and install in compatibility mode.  For users who may have upgraded to Windows 11 version 22h2, you can also find a compatible driver by following the below steps:

3. Disable Windows Firewall or Security Software Temporarily

A recently installed firewall or software might be blocking communication between your computer and the printer thereby causing the error code 0X800f0214. To clear this error, simply disable the Windows Firewall or any other security application you may have recently installed and check if that clears the error. Remember to re-enable the firewall once you are done with the installation to avoid putting your computer at risk.

4. Enable Network Discovery and Printer Sharing

Printer Sharing is a feature that allows you to print with a printer that’s on the same network but not connected to your computer. This method is applicable when you get the error code 0X800f0214 while trying to install a printer driver on a shared network. First, enable network discovery, and then turn on file sharing.
