File and Print Sharing on Windows 10

Question

When I select "Add a printer" the list of printers added in Active Directory does not populate. I can however, select "The printer I want isn't listed" and then select "Find a printer in the directory" and all printers are listed. I have a 2 site enterprise and this is only happening in 1 of 2 sites. The other site I can select "Add a printer" and immediately all printers added in Active Directory are listed.

Current Infrastructure is:

Site 1 (Add a printer DOES NOT populate printers from site 1 and site 2):
Subnet 1.1.1.0/24
Domain Controller 1 (VLAN 20)
Print Server 1 (VLAN 20)
Windows 10 workstations (VLAN 10)

Site 2: (Add a printer DOES populate all printers from site 1 and site 2)
Subnet 1.1.2.0/24
Domain Controller 2 (VLAN 20)
Print Server 2 (VLAN 20)
Windows 10 Workstations (VLAN 10)

-All Windows 10 from both sites receive the exact same group polices
-All Windows 10 are configured identical
-All windows 10 computers can access shared folders
-Ping successful between sites and between VLANS
-Browse successful using name or IP (example \worksation1 or \1.1.1.5
-All Windows 10 computers can access printer server shares (\PrintServer1 or \PrintServer2

What could possibly be the issue?
