We attempt to connect to a SMB shared printer in Windows 11. We follow the instruction in the documentation but get an error when conneting:
Add-Printer -ConnectionName \\server.global\location-printer
The error is:
Add-Printer : The specified server does not exist, or the server or printer name is invalid. Names must not contain the characters "," or "". On Line:1 Characters:1

+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (MSFT_Printer:ROOT/StandardCimv2/MSFT_Printer) [Add-Printer], Ci mException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : HRESULT 0x80070709,Add-Printer
If we open \server.local in the File Explorer the printer location_printer is listed.
