Odd Printing Issue

Hi all,

We have an old Win2k Pro machine that shares printers to the network.

Recently (i.e., today), we've seen issues where pcs that have been
able to print to these shared devices are no longer able - the printer
shows "Access denied".

Network shares on that machine are working properly.

We're not able to browse the network to get to the machine, but we
*are* able to enter the url and see what shares are on it:

\\fileservername

for example, in the address bar.

One machine on the network *is* able to see it and the printers mount
okay. The server also prints test pages etc.. to them.

Ideas? I need to fix this and am at a loss.
