Adding Network Printer to server 2003

[atari37]

I have a Windows XP machine acting as a server for a couple of our Network printers. The machine has 4 network printers installed on it and other workstation are able to install it as a shared printer onto their workstations.

I'm trying to use this same logic to add the 4 printers (networked) to my windows server 2003 and then use use a script to auto-mount them for the workstations on my AD network.

You might be wondering why I can't just install the 4 printers on the server and them have all the workstations share from it. For one, I have two subnet's for two groups (company1 and company2). Company one is on my AD and company 2 is on a different domain I don't have control over and don't want to join in any way shape of form.

What throws me off is that the workstations on my AD are able to manually add these 4 printers by using the IP. However, I can't do the same for the Server. It gives me an error saying that I either typed the wrong printer name or that the server is down.

Any Ideas?
