I have the same issue, I first checked the network connection, since the client can Ping-pass Windows 2003 servers, note that there are no network connectivity problems; but do not have access to a shared printer, I suspect that is likely that the client does not have access permission to the server, because In the default condition, Windows 2003 server Guest account is banned, the LAN client to the server in order to access the printer must be obtained before they can access. Check that and reply.

You need to double-click the account window in the "Guest" option, pop-up account settings interface, as shown in the default state, the "account has been disabled" option is automatically selected, the user option "Cancel "to enable the Guest account; later want to access through the Windows xp clients to a shared printer, you have to be the first to use" Guest "login name into the Windows network, it can be used to connect the Windows 2003 server shared printer. All the best.
