non admin user cannot connect to network printer

Hello-

I have a sticky problem that is causing me grief. In one of our labs I this
command to connect a network printer and make it available to all users of
the computer:

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /n\\server\%printername%

The command seems to have worked because when i connect with any user that
has admin rights the printer shows up and works just fine. However when i
log in with the normal account that would be used on the computer which is
just a normal user account the printer does NOT show up.

Also when I browse for the printer and right click on it and click connect
to connect it manually I get the following error:

"You do not have sufficient acces to your computer to connect to the
selected printer".

When I add this user to the local administrators group and log off and log
in, as I said the printer shows up and works. Then if i remove them from the
local administrators group and log off and log back on it does not and will
not even let me manually connect to it.

I am assuming that the error is why the printer is not showing up. Does
anyone have any ideas what I can do to give that user sufficient access to
the computer to connect to the printer?

Client OS is XP Pro SP2

Thanks!
