Windows 2012 print server problems when printer port setup using host name rather than IP

Recently built a new print server on a Windows 2012 server (vmware virtual machine). No problems with the server but I cannot seem to print to any printers configured with host name rather than IP. The server can resolve hostname so it is not a DNS issue, but I can successfully print when printer port configured with IP. I can add this printer on my Win7 workstation by hostname or IP and print with no problems, which tells me there are no problems with the printer. I also think I can rule out any network issues as I can print via IP. The problem exists with 2 different printers (I currently only have 2 installed). 

Thanks for any help you may be able to provide
