The error code 0x00000bcb is a Windows 10 PC error that occurs when Windows cannot connect to the printer, which prevents you from installing your system.

Like any other computer hardware, printers require additional software called drivers. If the driver software installation fails, the locked files will remain in the registry information, which means that the next installation will also fail.

Eventually, when you try to connect a printer to your system, you get a 0x00000bcb error message on your screen.

To finally fix this error code, you need to make sure the next time you install the printer software is successful. And to do so, you need to remove locked files and damaged registry keys that prevent the printer software from being installed correctly.
