samba - Nov 2021 - Point about Point'n'Print and PrintNightmare...

Someone have some clue, or some good URL, to understand the current status
of the Point'n'Print on W10? I'm getting mad...


Currently, setting:
	reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
NT\Printers\PointAndPrint" /f /v
"RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators" /t REG_DWORD /d
"0"
        reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers"
/f /v "CopyFilesPolicy" /t REG_DWORD /d "1"

i'm able back to install driver with Point'n'Print, but if some user
'roam'
to a PC where the driver is not just installed, the driver get not
automatically loaded and the printer does not appear and go in some sort
of 'undefined' state.

When user get back to original PC, printer are there, i can configure it in
control panel but does not appear in application, i need to 'reload'
them to
make it visible.


It is really frustrating...

I dont know my current print state, (everything works).. 

But read this one, it has a bit of all the things i know you can try. 
https://www.mdmandgpanswers.com/blogs/view-blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-printnightmare-and-overcoming-it

ComputerPol/System/Driver installation ( something like that, its in dutch
here.)
I have these GUID assinged that users can install "some" device
drivers.

{4658ee7e-f050-11d1-b6bd-00c04fa372a7} 


I hope that helps.

It works, with an aditional GPO. I only have a link to a German webpage
where yu can download the additional GPO and how you can set it up.
Samba as print server with this GPOs works fine :-)
