Print Management using GPO's Win Server 2003 R2 missing GPO option

Currently our organization has two servers that are running our domain. They are both win server 2003 R2 servers. We also have a win server 2003 R2 server setup for print management. We would like to create sub-ou's for computer objects, and link printers according to specified ou's. I have been through all of the walk throughs and get the gist of everything. However...

If you go to http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Deploying-Printers-Group-Policy-Windows-R2.html and take a look at Figure 11, where the GPO has a line titled "deployed printers." After I had deployed the printer using the print management's "deploy using a GPO method" I can not seem to get this to appear.

Everything that I have been reading about this suggests that I do not have R2, but that is not the case on this server. I have tried reinstalling the adminstration tool pack with no luck.

Download the "Windows Server 2003 R2 Administration Tools Pack" free from Microsoft.com:

it will add the node "Deployed Printers" to your Group Policy Editor.
