I have gone through many blogs for finding solution for this issue, but never find a solution.

$CompName = "test.domain.com"
$Printer = "\\122.21.10.11\PRINTER-NAME-1"
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $CompName -Scriptblock {
  Param($p)
  (New-Object -Com Wscript.Network).AddWindowsPrinterConnection($p)
} -ArgumentList $Printer
I have even tried PSRemoting and tried to execute the ps1 file from remote machine. the same script is working in local and not working remote.
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName "testserver.testdomain.com" -Authentication Credssp -Credential Get-Credential
Error:
  
Exception calling "AddWindowsPrinterConnection" with "1" argument(s): "The printer name is invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070709)"
Updates:
Working without CredSSP:
Invoke-Command -ComputerName remotemac.mydomain.com -ScriptBlock {
  Get-ChildItem C:\Users\myusername\Desktop
Working with CredSSP:
Invoke-Command -ComputerName remotemac.mydomain.com -ScriptBlock {
  Get-ChildItem \\sharedmac\sharef
} -Authentication Credssp -Credential mydomain\myusername
Script is working, but not showing network printers:
Invoke-Command -ComputerName remotemac.mydomain.com -ScriptBlock {
  (New-Object -ComObject WScript.Network).EnumPrinterConnections()
} -Authentication Credssp -Credential mydomain\myusername
Script gives error: Invalid Printer name
$Printer = "\\172.26.30.13\SDB1-FLOOR1-B2" # I have tried this input in single, double, with and without escape character
Invoke-Command -ComputerName remotemac.mydomain.com -ScriptBlock {
  Param($p)
  (New-Object -Com WScript.Network).AddWindowsPrinterConnection("$p")
} -ArgumentList $Printer -Authentication Credssp -Credential mydomain\myusername
I'm totally stuck.
I heard we can use Group Policy, is there anyway we can automate this using group policy?
                "remotemac"? Are you trying to run this on a Mac? Did you configure CredSSP on server and client as described in the article I linked to? What does your network topology actually look like?

                not mac OS  machine, its just a dummy name. Yes, CredSSP configured properly. it works fine for other scripts, i have verified it. both machines are in the same domain. ports are opened. nothing is blocking. should we have to implement remoting with the Printer Server (where printers are available. )$Printer = "\\172.26.30.13\SDB1-FLOOR1-B2" this server: 172.26.30.13

                google://group+policy+add+printer yields a metric ton of results. Please do some legwork yourself.
