All Windows 11 22H2 print jobs automatically pausing

My company has been upgrading devices from Windows 10 to the latest Windows 11 22H2 build and in doing so, we've ran into a weird issue. All printers, whether locally added or Print to PDF, sends all print jobs to the queue as paused and they won't print without manually resuming. We've opened a ticket with Microsoft and the support rep has hit a dead end just like me. The only printers that seems to work just fine are printers from our Printer Server. Everything else manually added via IP using the correct drivers and Print to PDF automatically pauses. The obvious solution would be to add all of the printers to the print server but the other problem is that this also effects USB printers. We use a variety of printer models so the issue isn't manufacturer specific.

We've tried to re-add printers with correct drivers, compare GPO between Win 10 / 11, make sure it's not a WSD port, tried different models with different printers, tried RPC registry fixes and GPO fixes...

Has anyone else ran into? If so, do you have a fix?
