  • Well, in this case, removing the content of the registry database may help you remove this problem. Plus, you can try using the third-party driver installer or connect with an expert to get a pinpoint solution for your problem. To ensure the problem with the printer, try connecting it to any other computer device. Taking the measured precautions and using the right solutions is necessary to remove the issue quickly.

    The error code 0x000003f1 indicating "the configuration registry database is corrupt" suggests that there's a corruption issue within your Windows registry that is affecting printer installation. Since you've already tried removing and reinstalling the printer and your PC detects the network printer, the problem might be deeper within the system registry or driver configuration.
