wmic shows "no instances available"

M

mwe

Setup: W2K3 Printer cluster, ZSW001, with 2 print servers.

Command: net view \\ZSW001
Result: (as expected) a list with all the printers.

Command: wmic /node:ZSW001 printer list status
Result: no instances available.

Why? Has it to do with being a Cluster?
PrintServers (not in a cluster) doesn't show this
behaviour.

If I make an explicit printer connection to one of the
printers, ( prnmngr -ac -p \\ZSW001\RP1130 ) it shows up
in the wmic command.
