Description
### Description
When I connect to a print server like \\emhfm, I am shown file directory folders instead of the printers on that server.

I see directory folders and the printers that are on that server.

### Windows Version

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Files 4.0 on Windows 11 with the UNC path \\emhfm, then review the attached screenshots and log file. Trace how the application handles a print server that exposes both directory folders and printers; done means the server view shows the printers correctly instead of presenting the folders as the primary contents.
