Hello, i'm running 10.7.3 macpros and macair under radius wi-fi settings, with windows servers 2k8 printserver; clients are binded to the AD via Directory Utility.

Some users are complaining that when they try to add a new printer, the printer list is empty.
It should normally show the list of printers that our print server makes available for all users.
It works normally, but i noticed that some users are experiencing this issue of empty printers list.

If i plug the eth cable in, i get the list immediately populated with all our bonjour printers (but the list is not coming from the print server, so it's unusable for us).

SOLUTION:
The only workaround possible is to REBIND the machine to the domain and VOILA'! The list comes back !

If anybody has any clue on how to do it in a different way or has a previous experience with this matter, please let me know.

thanks
