XP Printer Share Problem

I have a printer installed on a WinXP Pro machine on a p2p network of Win2K and WinXP. I have the printer security to allow everyone to print, manage printer, and manage documents. The only way I can get the users of other computers to be able to print to the networked printer is to set them up as Administrative users on the WinXP machine in the control panel. If I give them Power Users or Users rights, they can see the printer on the network but not print to it. I would prefer not to have the users listed at all, or at least to have them listed only as "Users" rather than Power Users or Administrators. How can I solve this problem? Thanks.

There are registery tweaks (which I don't remember) that allow restricted users administrative rights on specific files, directories or (I assume) objects.

Hopefully, someone with a better memory can help here!
