Seems to be a Rights issue. Try as admin on system sharing printers.

Scottlem,
I've double-checked my findings. After messing with many variations, the only instance when the printer spooling is greyed is when inappropriate rights are administered to the user. Hope this helps. -md

My experience of the matter: It is only enabled when two or more printers are setup.
However, may be you are experiencing a problem that many, including I have discussed before, infact last week.
I got a good answer that seemed to work. An DOS program; working well under Win95/98 but does not print under win2k.
Have you mapped the printer to the lpt port?
Use the command:
net use lpt1: \\<server>\<printer> /p:y
Note there is a space after 'lpt1:'
Try printing.
