Hello FrankYeh,

This is due to recent updates to protect from the PrintNightmare exploit. Even for Windows 7 systems. Only users with Admin rights would be able to see the printer because the would have access to the drivers. One workaround is to install manually the printer drivers locally, and this will allow any users on the computer to map the device. Otherwise Microsoft released an article regarding the printer and printer driver management post patching:
