Shared Printers and Network Access problem

I have set up some shared printers on a Windows 2003 Standard server.

On our XP pro machines, per our auditors, we changed our local security
policy to only allow Administrators in the Access This Comptuer From The
Network policy.

With this policy in place, our non-admin users get an Access Denied when
they try to print. If I put Everyone back in the local Access This computer
From the Network policy, it works.

Has anyone else seen this and figured out a work-around without us pushing
everyone back into the local policy????

Thanks for your reply, but I'm not sure that this will help our problem. We
have a script to add the printers no problem.
the problem is because we don't have Everyone in the "Access this computer
from the network" local policy, the user gets Access Denied trying to print
to the printer after it has been added. If we put Everyone back in the
"Access this computer from the network" local policy, then the user can print
fine....
Any ideas?
