One additional piece of information... It appears that I had not set the DNS server and NTP server correctly on all four printers and they were running with a very old date (would you believe 1970?). I have since ensured that all four printers now have the correct DNS server IP address, the host name of our local NTP server, the correct time zone and that they all now have the correct current date and time via NTP. I am not sure if this would have had anything to do with the DNS issue but it was something that was obviously wrong and needed to be fixed.
