You mean to say i need to add this username to the Print server > Users.

But this user is using his local administrator account to login to the laptop.
Yes. Try it.
i have a contractor at my work who has a laptop which is in another domain (the company he works for) and when he browses \\myprintserver he gets straight access denied.
to bypass this i mapped a drive to a public share using a login on my domain (choose "select different username" when mapping the drive). Now he can browse \\myprintserver and install the printer without problems as my printer is shared to all users.

If you use direct IP printing you should not need to change/add any permissions.
