If it really is exactly the same code, then there must be something
funny about those two machines

It seems a bit odd that your code works on hundreds of machines, yet
the only two that screw up are under your control

However, if it really is the same code, then it sounds like a Spooler
problem

My guess is that you are actually sending something to the printer
/after/ Printer.EndDoc and this is being picked up by different
spooler configurations.
