These were installed by the clients via print server webpage, eg:

http://ourprintserver/printers

I'm also puzzled as to why they can install but can't delete, they're
really adding up as I've had to juggle print servers around.

Were these autocreated printers or mapped network printers?

The former can be deleted from the console easily, the latter could be
removed via a script that enumerates printers and deletes any with a
specified server name.

Puzzled about the permissions.  If they can map new printers, I don't
know why they wouldn't be able to delete old ones.  Have you tried
restarting the spooler service?
