Recently I migrated my print server from 2008 R2 to 2012 R2. I deployed the printers through, printer(right click) -> Deploy with GP -> Default Domain Policy(per machine). All the PCs in the domain shows the printers form the new server except one PC. It is a Windows 7 Professional SP1 PC. At first the error on the PC was that it is missing the RSOP. So I started the Netlogon service which was stopped/manual for some reason. And now when I gpupdate /force the PC, it shows the below error:
Updating Policy...
User Policy update has completed successfully.
Computer Policy update has completed successfully.
The following warnings were encountered during computer policy processing:
Windows failed to apply the Deployed Printer Connections settings. Deployed Printer Connections settings might have its own log file. Please click on the "More information" link.
For more detailed information, review the event log or run GPRESULT /H GPReport.html from the command line to access information about Group Policy results.
Now I tried other users on this PC and same result. So the problem can be narrowed down to only the PC.
GP Debug log(gpsvc.log) here
event log info here
GP results of the computer given below:
Now the 'policy events' tab on that time stamp shows the info:Security policy in the Group policy objects has been applied successfully.
Resultant Set of policy(mmc -> add/remove snap-ins -> resultant set of policy) on the PC shows the below error:
Any help would be helpful.

For some reason my winning policy for printer deployment was computer policy(which is not even enabled) not 'default domain policy'. So here is what I did,
Now the
gpupdate /forcesuccessfully finishes and new printers are displayed. The problem is I cannot remove the old printers, it is showing "Access denied, unable to remove device" even as local administrator.will update after fixing the last issue.
