Point and Print Problems with SBS 2003 and Vista

Hi Everyone,
I have a few issues with Point and Print restrictions.
I have a 'SITE' GPO with Point and Print restrictions set to:
"""
Users can only point and print to these servers:
printserver.domain.local
When installing drivers for a new connection:
Do not show warning or elevation prompt
When updating drivers for an existing connection:
Do not show warning or elevation prompt
"""
The same GPO is used to deploy 2 printers to all users at that site- I have also deployed to all computers incase that made a difference.
Issue 1
--------
On most of the PCs the printer connections and drivers are installed correctly.
On some of the PCs the printer shows up, but does not install the driver. I have to go to those PCs and manually install the drivers.
I have checked rsop on those PCs and the point and print settings are correct.
Issue 2
-------
Around 5 users seem to lose their default printer every few days. Their printers are still installed and working correctly - they just don't have one set to default.
This causes issues in some applications when trying to print.
Issue 3
-------
2 of the users that lose their default printers have their default paper size reset to 8 1/2 x 11 instead of A4 - This happens multiple times a day and is the most annoying out of all the issues.
Someone has to physically go the printer and delete the job, then the user needs to reprint.
