Windows Printer sharing problemo

I have two computers behind a router. One the runs XP home and one that has windows2000. THe windows2000 one is attached to a printer and the printer is shared. I can add the printer yet I can't print to it because of permissions. If I goto network places and click my computer name I have to use my administrator password and only then will the printer print. Anytime the computers are restarted I have to go through this process again. Any suggestions on how to make my life easier?

On the Windows 2000 machine, right click on My Computer, select Manage. Go to local users and groups, users. Add a user with the exact name and password that's used to log onto the XP box locally.
