Post KB5005031 and my environment doesn't allow us to bypass the admin requirement for print driver install. No problem right, I just remotely pre-install the driver on all systems so when the user goes to connect, the driver is already installed. The remote install goes fine, I can see the driver in the remote system print server properties but when the user goes to connect they still get an admin prompt to install the driver and if cancelled, the printer does not install.
I have tried multiple methods of installing the driver, adding the system to print management and installing driver, using printui.dll,PrintUIEntry to script the install and in all instances, the driver shows up but isn't actually able to be used when selecting the printer off the Print server.
I did try to use printui.dll,PrintUIEntry to just add the printer from the print server but it appears that you can only use it to add a shared printer to the workstation itself, not connect to a shared printer on another system. But there is always the possibility that I am just real bad at this.
I should add, some additional methods I have tried are pnputil.exe and add-printerdriver in most circumstances the driver shows up in the driver store (pnputil.exe -e) and I can see it as an available driver but when I use the add-printerdriver and reference the name (as listed in pnputil.exe -e) it states such driver exists.

We have the same Issue 1 out of 5 drivers will pre-install and work.
It looks like my issue is related to Package-aware drivers that cover multiple models and multiple architectures. I the syntax documentation states how to select the model but not when that model is nested under a specific architecture. The INI file has multiple listings for the specific model I am loading (Xerox C7030), and anytime I specify the model it just ends up loading the base C7000 driver instead of the specific one.

We have the exact same issue, very interested of this is a common issue and if someone has resolved this.
Think we are going to open a pro support case as gets more and more inconvenient over time.
