I found the answer! If your print server is Windows 2008R2 then on the server, check the permissions on \Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS folder. Users must have write permissions on this folder, this is not set by default.

While logged-in as an "Administrator", open the Printer Properties option, and make sure to "Allow" the following "Permissions for Everyone". . Print . Manage this Printer .
