We have Windows XP clients printing to Windows 2000
Advanced Servers in an AD Domain. We are seeing the
behavior as described in this article. When the Point and
Print GPO is set to not configured, we are not able to add
a new printer as a regular user unless the user is an
admin. If it is switched to disabled, we are able to add
the printer as a regular user. The article states that it
applies to XP Clients printing to a Windows 2003 Server.
Could this also apply to Windows 2000 Servers?

Probably, specially if you upgraded W2K group policy to support Windows XP
features, http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=307900
