Remote Desktop Clients Cannot Access Their Local Printers unless they are in Domain\Admin Group

I have a Windows 2003 Terminal Server (who is the primary domain controller for itself) and clients running Remote Desktop.  When they login their local printer is created, however unless their user profile is a member of Domain Admin, they cannot access their local printer.

I tried to compare various security policies to another working Windows 2003 Server, but have not been able to figure out what's going on.

Thank you in advance for your help

Is the other Windows 2003 serer that is working a domain controller?  The domain controller will usually have tighter security unless you have changed the default settings.

There is no other Windows 2003 server.
The other server is at a different company

Make sure that your C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers folder is shared as Print$ with security permissions set for EVERYONE to be able to Read & Execute.

I removed Active Directory from the TS and now everything works fine.
Any other option beside taking off AD? I am having the same issue currently...
