Printers not showing up in the directory

Hello,

I have a Windows 2003 machine as my print server. I am able to install and
share printers wthout a problem. All of my client computers can add the
printers on the server by telling the print wizard specifically where to go
but all but one doesn't show up when I try to add them by using the printer
directory. I double checked that the "List in the directory" box is checked
but still I get nothing.

 

Also make sure the group policy is enabled for publish them. This how to may
help,

Thanks but this won't fix it because where I have my users and computers and
where I have my printers are two different servers. My print server doesn't
have Active Directory installed. Could this be the problem? I personally
don't think so because we have Windows XP and 2000 workstations that have
shared printers attached to them and they are in the directory... and
obviously they don't have Active Directory either. Is there some other way?
