KB Update preventing printing from XP machines

After KB945553 was installed to our machines last week, we had a rash
of printing errors on our campus. All were XP boxes that would not
print to our server queues. All of our Vista boxes were operating
normally. We looked at that KB, and removed it from an XP box for
testing. The box began printing properly to all of the queues that
had the problems. We removed the update from both clusters that make
up the print server, and our XP boxes began to print again.

Anyone else experience this or have any insights on this?
