It might sound obvious but have you installed the printer drivers on the
client? It won't work otherwise

Yes - and there's no problem printing as administrator from that machine;
it's just when logged in as a non-admin user that the printer doesn't
show up in the client machine's printer list.

It seems like there are some permissions screwed up somewhere, but
finding where might be tricky as of course being Microsoft it's supposed
to automagically work but then when it doesn't it's a complete flippin'
nightmare. :-(

The pragmatic solution would be to by a cheap printserver and stick the
printer straight on the network and not fuss with solving the actual
problem! (IME some of these can take some time to track down!)

The workaround at the moment is to just copy files to a share on the
server and then walk over to it and print from there, but it would be
nice if it worked as it was supposed to.

It might be worth trying to reset all the normal security settings to
their defaults. You can do this on XP SP3 machines with:

secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb
/verbose
