I was having a problem printing from a network pc to a network printer
on the same domain, but I figured out how to fix it and thought someone
else might need help with it.

This problem (not being able to add a printer or print) only happes
when I attempt to print from the local account on the PC and then try
to use a network printer.

To fix it, just go to My Network Places > Entire Network > then to the
print server and finally to the printer. Right-click the printer and
click Connect.

Now you can print.
 
Another solution is setup you local username matches the domain username with the same password. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
