Can't connect to a printer when searching Active Directory

Hi

We (suddenly) can't connect to any printer listed in Active Directory from
any machine when you locate the printer from 'find a printer in the domain'.

If the mapping is in place it's fine and the document is printed, if it's a
new mapping it can see the printer but when you double click the printer to
add it you get an error 'Windows cannot connect, either the specified name
was typed incorrectly or the port has lost it's connection to the server'.

If you use UNC mapping the printer(s) will connect and work correctly.

This problem effects all users on all machines for all printers. We've
re-booted the server/turned printers on + off to no avail.

Thanks

Steve
