Problems printing from XP to network printers

Windows SBS 2003 domain. Three XP clients and fifteen 98SE clients (that
will soon be all XP).

Two of the three XP clients can print to any printer whether they are shared
network-connected printers with queues on the SBS, queues on peer-XPs, or
shared printers connected to Windows 98 clients.

But one XP client cannot print to any of them. It says unable to print. If
I go to a Command Prompt and NET USE any printer from that client:

(1) XP CLIENT, WINDOWS 98 SERVER:

net use lpt2 \\parts4\manuals
The password is invalid for \\parts4\manuals.
To connect PARTS4\Guest to parts4, press ENTER, or type a new user name:
Enter the password for 'PARTS4\Guest' to connect to 'parts4':
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.

(2) XP CLIENT, WINDOWS SBS 2003 SERVER:

net use lpt2 \\lake1\office-cod
The password is invalid for \\lake1\office-cod.
Enter the user name for 'lake1':
Enter the password for lake1:
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.

(3) XP CLIENT, WINDOWS XP SP2 SERVER:

net use lpt2 \\lake2\office-cod
The password is invalid for \\lake2\office-cod.
Enter the user name for 'lake2':
System error 1223 has occurred.
The operation was canceled by the user.

I tried entering the user's name and password at these prompts and it didn't
matter. It's not the 'non-admins cannot map lpt1 if they have a physical
lpt1' problem because it does the same with any lptx.

If I log into the client as Administrator, I can print fine. If I log into
the client as any user (even ones that can print from their own XP PC), they
cannot print either.

Any ideas?

Isn't this the right place to ask? I thought MS people manned this ng
providing answers. If not, where would be a better place to post?
