Windows 10: Windows 11 no printers

Went looking for all my printers and found windows control panel and device will not show all the printers.The printers are there, I can print to them, but I cannot select the printer I want to print to.It looks like this has been an issue Nov 14, 2019.Anybody have any fixes.Again, rebooted a few times. Windows will not show printers. GPO runs fine Assigns printers. I can print to the default, and ping it from the command line. But windows does not know about these printers. Nothing in Printers, controlpanelIdeas ?

To be sure that you followed my suggestion correctly, I will specify some steps: CP>devices and printers>add a printer>the printer that I want isn't listed>add a local printer with manual settings>define port>Windows update and install
