I think you should get the latest drives for your printer from
HP (usually they have these issues.... :-)   ).
However it would have helped if you specified the printers by name and model....

Thanks for replying! I will ltry your suggestons tomorrow when I arrive in the office. Yes the printers are identical basically a Sharp MX- M3501 network color copier that is setup to print to various trays contaning a variety of paper options like letter size with company boarder, legal with company letter head, thick paper for post cards, etc ...You have to install the printer utilizing the same IP, same drive, only difference is the properties are configured  differently to identify which tray to use.  Plus we have four different Sharp B/W network printers all diiferent models utilizing four different IP address.  
One reason I hate assigning IP addresses to anything is that sooner or later you run into trouble...
Any chance you can post a screen shot of the expanding printers? I have never seen it and can't find any screen caps online. Thanks for the points!
