They are an HP LaserJet 4000 and an HP 4SiMX (in two documented cases so
far).

In one documented case, the printer to which the job was sent and the
one which got the job were AppSocket printers, and in another, the
printer to which it was sent was an AppleTalk printer (using NetAtalk)
and the one which received it was an AppSocket printer.

No, and therefore, no.

No. And our DNS entries are up to date and only change every three
hours.

The above instance where the original printer was an AppleTalk printer
makes me doubt that. In addition, when an incorrect print job comes out
of a printer, it follows a different persons banner page (I don't know
if this is also happening on printers where there is no banner page
printed - it may be and I just haven't heard about it) whose job never
comes out (it could come out somewhere else - again, I'm not sure). If
it were a DNS problem, that should be persistent enough to cause this
issue for longer than that. This will happen with one print job that
follows a good job and which is followed by another.
