On 1709 and 1803 versions of Win10, when adding a domain-joined network printer using the \\server\share mapping, the printer will add to the system and be accessible through other applications, but it will not show up in Devices and Printers for some period of time, which can be after a restart or within a few days. It can be printed to from this phase.
Restarting the print spooler does not help and adding the printer a second time does not populate it.
This happens whether or not Bluetooth devices are disabled. This does not happen all of the time for all computers, or all of the time for the same printers. If the printer does show quickly, it will show in the Unspecified grouping, as opposed to the Printers grouping, and the status will read as "Device setup in progress".
Anybody else seen this?
