Can ping printer from one server but not another

I am moving all my IP printers from one W2K server (server1) to another W2K
server(server2). Both are on the same domain. I am also changing the IP
addresses of all the printers so they are in a dedicated range of addresses.
I made a reservation in DHCP, and the printer took the IP address. After
changing the IP address of the printer, I was able to print from my original
print server just like always. I then went to add the printer to server2,
and the server can't see it. In fact, I can't even ping the new IP address.
This is very frustrating, because it seems I can ping the printer IP address
from every workstation and or server in the domain except this one server.
This is about the 30th printer I have added to this server. I tried changing
the printer's IP address to something different, but get the same result.
The printer is an HP LaserJet 4000, and I am ordering a new NIC card for it,
hoping that will fix it (plus it is always good to have a spare), but I have
doubts that is the issue, because it works fine from all other workstations
and servers. Has anyone else seen an issue like this?

Windows cannot connect to the printer. either the printer name was typed incorrectly, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server. walter.seader@gmail.com Windows XP Networking 0 18th Oct 2006 09:37 PM
