[Samba] Point and Print Nightmare ? Samba4 ? or a simple driver issue ?

[L.P.H. van Belle]

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/printing/cannot-install-shared-network-printer-locally#:~:text=A%20policy%20is%20in%20effect,connecting%20to%20this%20print%20queue.&text=The%20printer%20driver%20is%20not,administrator%20about%20disabling%20this%20policy.

Which shows... 

This issue may also occur if the following conditions are true:

DNS reverse zone lookup isn't configured.
DNS is configured incorrectly on the print server.
DNS issues on the print server.

Its not for nothing i hammer on, make sure you have A and PTR for you servers..


Verify this.
