When I first started at this job almost twenty years ago fresh out of IT-school, I had an idea to use a Windows print server as this was what I knew. I wasn't trusted with the *nix farm yet then. Over the years I have tried at least once a year to get our Linux-computers to talk to our AD-connected Windows Servers, but haven't quite made it
yet.
I've also tried to get the AD-connected Windows-clients to talk to a Linux print server to no avail. Granted it's been awhile now since I tried. Maybe I'll give it another go. Both the Windows and Linux OS:es have developed quite a bit the last ten years...
I've had no problems printing to AD connected print servers with Linux in a decade. Either with the Linux box (usually Fedora, but Ubuntu as well) as part of the AD domain or not part of the domain.
Generally all the printer issues with Windows print servers is the print spool getting jacked up and having to be restarted. It's better in Server 2016, but still crap IMHO.
We don't run anything on Server 2016, only have a Server 2012 left. Last I tried was with Server 2012, a year or so ago.
