Cannot add shared printer to Active Directory - check box not available.

I have a Windows XP Pro workstation that is part of a domain with Windows 2003 Small Business Server.  I can map to the server and seeing shared files on the server is no problem.

I have 3 printers attached to this workstation but cannot add these 3 shared printers to the active directory because the check box for "list in directory" is missing.  It is not showing up in the share dialog box (not even in ghosted form).

Yes, for some reason the DNS settings were changed to automatic and was not pointing to the SBS 2003 server.  Once I made the change, the 'List to Directory' option shows up in the share printers window. Thank you.
