It sounds like you ma have to do a complete update of the path of the network printer or of the drivers for the client machines. It appears that they are loosing connection to the path the drivers are stored in.

We run mainly HP printers on our site but also have 5 Xerox machines- various models- scanning-copying etc.All of the Xerox machines give us similar problems to yours. See the Xerox site on how to do a "Hard" reboot on these machines not a soft reboot. We need to do this about once a month
