Hi,
I have done a lab test and found you can use below GPO settings to enable the log.
- On DC, open the local Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog
- Create a new Key named "Microsoft-Windows-PrintService/Operational"
- Open Group Policy Management, navigate to Computer Configuration>Preferences>Windows Settings>Registry
- Create a new Registry Wizard, select Local computer and Next
- Select the Key we juest created "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Microsoft-Windows-PrintService/Operational" and Finish
- Restart your client PC or run "gpupdate /force" to apply the group policy.
I also done some reseach and found you can use wevtutil command to enable this log centrally for client computers.
Please refert to below thread:
