A month ago I could easily setup a server with printer redirection but now it seems like something has changed as I can't install it, make it work anymore. My local printers will not be redirected as in one of my previously configured virtual machine. So
I'm trying to figure out with your help if something from my settings are wrong or is it that some policy has changed?
I'm not sure if all the followings are required but I've installed them from

Some interesting lines form the event viewer logs:
The description for Event ID 902 from source Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-SessionBroker cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted.
Access to drivers on Windows Update was blocked by policy
