I am trying to create a printer/print queue in Windows, for a printer connected to a RaspberryPi running Cups. I have followed this procedure for setting it up:https://techblog.paalijarvi.fi/2020/05/25/making-windows-10-to-print-to-a-cups-printer-over-the-network
However, it does not work. The printer is somehow defined in Windows (it appears on the "Printers and Scanners" page), but when I try to open the print queue, it fails. I have dived into the EventLog, and found several error messages, whereof I think the key ones are...
From Applications and Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows/PrintService/Admin - this is logged when I created the printer/queue:

The other one is logged when I try to open the print queue window.

Any ideas what is wrong (and perhaps even better, how to fix it)?
