Printer Driver Error During Install

I have a Print Server running Windows Server 2016 where I have all my network printers installed. I have a Dell B1260dn, which works fine on the Print Server and my local PC. I have 2 Terminal Servers running Windows Server 2016 on the same network. When trying to add/map this Dell printer, I get the same error on both Terminal Servers. I have tried to clear from Registry but still did not work. Here is the error. Thank you for your help!

  • What does the Eventlog says? 

    Do you have point and print GPO disabled on RDS Servers?

        Is this an old driver?

         

        I think the problem ist, that the driver is not package aware. 

         

        Look at your print-server and look for this Key:

         

        HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows X64\drivers\

         

        Search your driver and change The Key "PrinterDriverAttributes" to "1"

         

        After that you need to restart your printserver.
