Printers appearing/disappearing in AD

I have created a file/print server in one of our remote offices, and the printers randomly disappear from AD. There are 4 printers on this server, and there is a DC in the same site. On the printer properties, I have 'list in directory' checked on the printers. About the only thing that seems to fix it, is to restart the remote dc and then restart the file/print server.

What is even more odd, is that if you UNC (\\servername), command line or network neigborhood, you can see them, but if you go through the FIND function in adding a printer, they done list with all of the others.

Any ideas?
