Description

### Description

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.
