[L.P.H. van Belle]

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. 
{4d36e979-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318} 
{4658ee7e-f050-11d1-b6bd-00c04fa372a7} 


I hope that helps.
