This is done on a core server 2016
in powershell
Install print services:
install-windowsfeature print-services
enable the print spooler:
set-service spooler -startuptype automatic
start the print spooler:
net start spooler
if you can't pint the print server, you may have to tweak the domain firewall. Or turn it off with:
set-netfirewallprofile -profile domain -enabled false
Then manage the printers through another server that runs a GUI because you're not a complete masochist.
