I researched the issue further and found that GP would not prevent the point and print driver from applying in printer redirect. &nbsp; &nbsp;I also found the if you used Type 3 drivers, this would also prevent this behavior.

Is there any way we can disable Point and Print? &nbsp; &nbsp;I have disabled easy print thru group policy. &nbsp; I DO NOT want Microsoft dictating what driver is used when we are using printer redirect. &nbsp; &nbsp;In the past with Server 2008 we didn't have issues. &nbsp; &nbsp; With it adding the point and print driver, this is not compatible with a couple of our business software programs.<br />

I just want the redirects of that printer, to keeps the original driver.

Server 2012

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.

Windows Server 2012

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Remote access may refer to the connection to a data-processing system from a remote location, for example through a virtual private network remote desktop software, terminal emulation, or the activation of features of a business telephone system from outside the business's premises.
