I had a similar problem with W2K with student account set to "restricted 
user" and other permission settings set to keep them from cruising about 
the C:drive and modifying or deleting stuff I didn't want them to mess 
with.  To allow IE to create a full temp file I had to set the permissions 
for C:\WINNT\Temp to explicitly allow the student account full access to 
that folder (which meant adding the user "student" to the security for that 
folder, "user" was not enough since I had extra security 
settings/restrictions for "student" than the generic "user" had.  That 
solved the printing problem for us.  YMMV of course!
