The GPO rule to deploy shared printers works on the virtual machine test but not on Windows 10 Pro in production.

Question

Hello,
I need to deploy shared printers on the network.
I create the GPO rule, I run the gpupdate command.
I have verified that it works correctly on a Windows 10 Pro test virtual machine.
However, if I apply the rule to distribute the printers to network clients, they are not loaded. What am I doing wrong?
Scenario:
Windows Server 2016 domain controller;
Windows Server 2016 print server;
I created a new policy item and then I edited it in User Configuration -> Preferences - Control Panel Settings -> Printers and shared the printer;
I forced gpupdate on the Windows client.
I hope someone help me please.
Best regards.
Alberto
