Invalid requesting-user-name value after system reboot (IPP Everywhere)
When I add a IPP Printer, it works fine until I restart OS, after system reboot the requesting-user-name contains WORKGROUP\VM132786998$ so it's domain\computerName$. And the user cannot be correctly recognized.
Steps to reproduce it:
1. Add IPP printer
2. Print Test page
3. Restart system
4. Print Test page
Current result if inspecting by Wireshark:
at point 2. requesting-user-name contains correct "Administrator" value
at point 4. requesting-user-name contains incorrect "workgroup\VM132786998$
Expected result: in both cases correct value Administrator must be present.
Currently only restart print spooler or recreating printer solves the issue. (See attached wireshark captures before and after print spooler restart)
Note: The issue is not reproducible in build 22H2 22621.3447. I'm able to reproduce it in 23H2 22635.4076.
Same error is observed here (comment from Douglas Kosovic): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1428508/ipp-everywhere-ipp-2-0-server-basic-authentication
Attached screenshots from wireshark captures when it's happening and after restarting Print Spooler.

It looks like what's happening here is that after a reboot, the IPP client falls back to using the machine account
Dear Microsoft,
the problem is still there, also in latest Windows 11 version, i assume the problem would come closer in the next month, if more and more shft to IPP print with Windows Protected print mode etc.... and if the printing with IPP must be some how real secure... Please let us know, how to fix or how to escalate future.
Thanks!
