I Just wanted to update this post. I have resolved the issue. It turns out that 
it was a permissions problem on the spool directory on the cluster. This was 
determined by the audit logs. Once I gave full control permissions to Domain 
Computers and Local System everything worked fine.

Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Clustered Printers

I am trying to get printing working on a w2k cluster. I have done the following:
1. Installed all printer drivers on both nodes of the cluster (active/passive). 
2. Set up a print spooler resource and pointed it to a folder on the shared 
disk array that has domain users - modify permissions and brought the print 
spooler online. 
3. Browsed to the cluster virtual server through network places and used the 
"add printer" applet to set up the printers. Made sure domain users had "print" 
permissions on all printers. 

I can now connect to the clustered printers and set them up on a workstation 
(xppro).  However, when I try to print a test page, I immediately get the 
"document failed to print...) error. But there are no errors in the event logs, 
just the warning saying the printer driver was installed. 

I read a kb article that said the w2k cluster service was not ad-aware and that 
you need to add the everyone group to the "pre-windows 2000..." Group. I have 
done this but the problem persists. 

Am I doing something wrong? Do more permissions need to be added somewhere? I 
would appreciate any help.
