According to the Redmond-based company, the July 13 cumulative update KB5004237 resolved some printing issues on USB-connected printers. However, it appears that the same update also introduced a new bug as a result of changes made to address the CVE-2021-33764 vulnerability.

Microsoft said it was investigating the matter and would provide a temporary solution soon.
The company has asked those experiencing issues to update the necessary drivers and firmware and consult with device manufacturers if necessary. You can find more details about the issue on the company's official website.
