problem sharing a network printer with all users

Hope someone can help me.

I have two PC's networked via a router. Router is connected to an ADSL
modem. Each PC is running XP pro sp2. . Simple file share enabled on both
PC's. Users on each PC can see and share selected shared files between them.
Users on both PC's can access the internet.

So far so good, though here is my problem. One of the two PC's has a USB
inkjet printer connected. I have enabled it as a shared printer on the
network and all users can see it, but, it seems only users with admin rights
on the second PC can successfully print to it???. Users with limited rights
on the second PC end up with a print job sitting in the queue with a status
of "printing" but no output on the printer.

Can someone help me please?

Did you find a fix? I'm having the same problem. My server compute
has 2 printers on USB, and a DLink 604 router. It seems that I can onl
print from client computers after rebooting the server computer. I'v
changed all the permissions I can find related to the network on th
server computer to increase or disable idle time. I wonder if it'
related to the USB. Any thoughts?
