Please let me know if you were able to.
If not here's a workaround which unfortunately the user in my organization does not want to do.
A workaround is the following:
In Terminal type:
sudo open /etc/hosts
edit the hosts file by typing in the ip address and the name you want to tie it to.
I tried to get the user who is having this problem in our network to do it, but he doesn't want to do it (another user was kind enough to bring their own personal MAC to work so that I cant test this out and it resolved the IP address to the NetBIOS name). |

I'm the network technician, at best :P, I will talk to my boss who's the IT director here. But I think we're on the right track.
Thanks for replying!

Did configuring your hosts file help you find the printer? |
I don't know as I have no mac for almost half a year now.
Did putting it in /etc/hosts fix it for you? I should think it would but I don't like statical config. So I hope you can fix it with nmbd.
