Multiple users printing from same PC

I'm administrator on XP home PC with a network printer that is also locally
attached. Only I or anyone in the admin partition ("customized desktop") can
print. Users in their own partition cannot print to this locally attached
printer unless they switch users and go to the admin partition which is a bit
of a nuisance. I have no security tab so I assume that the default is set so
that all users should be able to print and the sharing tab is enabled. Any
thoughts?

I have a similar problem. 2 user profiles - both set up as admins.
Whichever is first to log on discovers printer and works fine. When
second user logs on they discover printer but it immediately
disconnects and shows the red bar over the icon. Can switch back to
first user and print fine. Printer is officejet 600 locally attached.
Mcafee anti-virus running.
