Did you "disable" the the GPO! Normaly you set GPOs to "enable" to set 
what the GPO should do, here it must be "disabled" What I also noticed, 
not all printer drivers are working :-( When I set up a prnit server in 
my classes I only uses a PCL6 driver. I know that it's nearly impossible 
to get Lexmark printers working. So maybe you try a standard driver to 
see if the problem is the driver and not your settings. I did a tutorial 
on 2021 SambaXP about printserver setup
https://www.kania-online.de/veroeffentlichungen/
search for SambaXP 2021
There you can download my Vagrant setup and the driver I'm using is also 
included. But it was before printnightmare so the GPO no.3 is not there, 
but everything else works, just add the third GPO
