Jim what exactly is the problem you are experiencing here? Have you installed the print driver directly on the Win2003 server? Can it print to the printers? I've attached NT4 workstations (and Win 98) off of a Win2003 server and they could print to the queues on the Win2003 server easily (though the drivers were already installed on each workstation). === There really isn't too much of a problem letting the machines print directly to the printers. The machines will query the printer and if it is busy they will simply queue the job locally. It eats up local disk space and RAM but it does work.
