Obviously your problem is not that the printer doesn't understand pings,
since you said it replies to them. Since traceroute is not working, it
means pings are getting blocked along the way.
My hypotheticals:
1 - The Mainframes and the printer are on the same VLAN on the switch and
other traffic is not getting routed that specific VLAN.
2 - The switch has some kind of port blocking or security activated on
certain ports.
3 - One of your routers has an access list configured that is blocking
traffic or maybe a firewall is blocking the ping.
Hope it Helps
