OK, this is strange!
I tried to print to one of the printer (drivers) from one of the
affected servers as admin and it did work. I then logged in as my test
user (same server / printer) and NOW I can print to it.
So as a quick fix I'll just log onto each affected server and touch
the "bad" printers.
This is weird, All the servers are the same and I used the CMC to
replicate the drivers from another good server. Could that have been
the problem? Should I install the drivers by hand on each server next
time?
Well at least I know how to fix it, but would really like to know why
that happened :-)
