Both look accessible.
Therefore what results the "netcat" test for those printers?
See the same section in our "Reference" manual.

Obviously if I had some magic knowledge what "the difference" is,
or "why it doesn't work for you", I would tell you but up to now
I have no idea what the reason is in your particular case.

Furthermore you didn't tell any details about how you have set up
the queues for those printers so that I have no chance to guess
what might be wrong in your particular case.

Finally I am no OpenVPN expert so that I cannot help you, if the reason
is your OpenVPN setup.
