Connecting to Printers

I am having a problem sharing a printer on a network I am working on.
Specifically, there are a group of users at a remote office, connected to the main office via VPN over ADSL.
They run Terminal Service sessions to access server resources at the main office and everything is working well except for printing to their main laser printer. It is located on LPT1 of a W2K Pro PC and shared appropriately, I think.
I have it installed on the W2K Server Terminal Services server and can connect and print to it fine when logged on as administrator but for all other TS clients it shows up as "Access Denied" in the printer window.
If you then browse to that PC it will ask you to log on. Log on as administrator and you can print.
Is there some way you can get around this ?

Do you have them in a domain?

If not you will need to make sure that the Everyone group has permission to
use the printer and you may every have to make the local guest account a
member of the Everyone group.
