I had the same problem: created the accounts (as you described) months
ago but didn't solve the problem.

Do I also need to give users on those other PC's rights to certain
directories (perhaps where print jobs are queued up?) I have long
suspected their remote users need to have write privelages to wherever
Windows (on their PC) is sending the files (on my PC) as part of the
process.

BTW, if I make set the users from those other PC's as Administrators
on my W2K (I have the printer), then they can print!

Thanks,
Bill
