I'm not sure I understand the situation exactly.
1. Pardon my ignorance, but I have yet to find a way to successfully create
a useable shortcut to the Printers and Faxes folder (on Windows XP), so I'd
be interested in exactly how you do that.
2. If the users are accessing the printer (shared from a server that is a
member of a domain) from their local workstation, try this approach instead:
a. have the user issue the command:
net use \\PrintServerName\IPC$ password /user:PrintServerUserName
/persistent:yes
b. then the user should be able to add the printers to their workstation
as a Network Printer using the Add Printer Wizard, or "see" them in Windows
Explorer whether or not they actually have permission to use the printer by:
i. click Start, Run, key \\PrintServerName and press Enter,
or
ii. navigate to the Print Server computer via Network Neighborhood
3. Whether you specify the UserName or a group that the user is a member of
should not make any difference to what the user has access to. The only
caveat is that group membership is cached a logon time, so if you change
group membership after the user logs on, they have to logoff and logon again
to make use of the group membership change. Also, you don't mention it, but
if the user account is a local user account, then the group must also be
local (a local user account on computer can not be a member of domain
group).
4. With Windows, in the normal course of events, objects (e.g. printers,
shares) will be visible in Windows Explorer whether or not you actually have
permission to use that object.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
