This is very likely a driver issue. I've had a lot more success
with PCL5/5e drivers. Since you've got mandatory profiles (which I
personally don't like or use much) you may need to temporarily
change 'em ...rename ntuser.man back to ntuser.dat - and delete the
printer & re-add it...test, and if it works, make the profile
mandatory again.

The man profiles are point to the server for the print drivers,

All that means is that the drivers are copied over to the
workstations.

do you
think it would be alright to delete the print drivers and install
the pcl5 on the server and not change anything on the man profiles?

You'll need to do both, I believe. The profiles won't be able to
update themselves as they're mandatory.

The profiles are just pointing to the share, nothing is installed on
the man profile.

As I said, I believe you will need to make the profiles "non mandatory"
after changing the driver on the server.
