As you are working in a workgroup this is most likely to be caused because of
permmision settings on the Printer Host Machine. I have come across this
before. How I solved it was to create a local user account on the PC that has
the printer locally attached. (Once you have done this you need to re-install
the printer on the client computer and connect using the local account you
created.

If you are not to well up on permissions and user accounts someone with a
basic understanding should be able to do this for you.

I hope this helps
