W2K Prof printing problem

I have W2KP Workastations which try to use network printers on a NT 4.0 Server. The machines are members of the same domain, I have admin-rights. Despite of this, network printers show the status "access denied, unable to connect". I cannot see or manage any jobs, but I can print and change some of the settings (haven't tried all yet). I suspect it has something to do with the security configuration of the W2K machines. Or it could be introduced by additional software. A W2K in an out of the box installation doesn't show the symptoms.
Any ideas? What shall I try next?

Actually, its a bug. I know this happens if you change your password. I dont know what are the other changes that would trigger this bug. Try deleting your "Documents and Settings" folder. This will delete your registry settings and such, and may solve the problem...until you change your password again or some other trigger.

Problem is the security setting on the WS for anonymous access. Not the profile.
