I have a similar issue (see post "Can't access shared printer" about 8 posts
after this one). Unfortunately, I don't have a solution for you, as I am
still digging into this. I don't think this is it, but I did notice some
DCOM errors in the system event log. Can you check and see if you have
something similar?
