Printing issue on NT Terminal Server

We've got an old NT4 Terminal server that suddenly has come up with a problem printing.

If I go into the printers folder and try to print a test page, I get the following error:

Test page failed to print. Would you like to view the print trouble shooter for assistance? The system does not support the command requested.

We had a issue a few weeks ago where users on this box couldn't print, and we found an obscure reference to corrupted fonts. I reloaded the fonts from another NT4 machine and it worked fine for a few weeks. But even after restoring the fonts again now, it still gives the above error.

Anyone have any suggestions?

This could be anything. Are u sure that the printer is being auto-created for the client once they are connected? Can you print locally from the terminal server using this printer?
 
I get this error even if I go locally to the server and try printing to a non-autocreated printer.
