I have some notes that may apply. I created a GPO for Win 10 22h2 and
Windows 11 (filted using WMI).

Trusting the print server may help:
set up GPO to trust print server
this gpo should only be applied to Win 10 and 11 22H2, it breaks earler
versions!
Computer Configuration → Policies → Administrative Templates → Printers
Double-click to the Point and Print Restriction
Enable the policy and set the following options:
Enable Users can only point and print to these servers and enter the
fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) to the field.
Select Do not show warning or elevation prompt in both the When installing
drivers for a new connection and When updating drivers for an existing
connection list.

Double-click to the Package Point and Print - Approved servers policy to
edit the policy:
Enable the policy and click the Show button.
Enter the print server's FQDN, I also included the short name and any DNS
CNAMEs

Used this filter: SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE BuildNumber
LIKE "19045.%" AND ProductType = 1
Cheers!
