I have a strange problem happening, to which I found a solution, but don't understand the problem.

Print Server - Windows 2003 R1
Workstation - Windows XP Pro SP3
Printers are all HP

We have many print queues setup on our print server. Out of the blue, a few computers starting having problems access a few of the queues (random printers and random clients). The queues would show up on the clients machine as "Access Denied". What I did was add the domain suffix to the print queue (during the mapping process) and the issue went away.

The problem with this is it now give long queue names (which is a headache for our legacy apps).

Can anyone give me any suggestions as to where to begin with this. The print server and clients are all registered in DNS.
