Authenticating Windows Print Queues

We have gotten our test Macs to bind to the Active Directory, and to allow
users from the domain to login, connect to servers, etc. Unfortunately,
while file servers don't request a second login from these authenticated
users, the W2k print queues do request a second login from the user.

Now, when a user does connect to one of these printers by logging in a
second time, their name and pass is written to the printers.conf file. It
is all in clear text. You can clear the name/pass from the .conf file, and
the machine will continue to allow authenticated users to print to the
printer...but they use the first users authentication. Since we are trying
to use these W2k so that the print accounting system on them will handle our
macs, we must have the correct user assigned to the print job.

Now, I've demoed AdmitMac, and it appears to handle all of this correctly.
Whoever logs in to the computer is the person that shows up as printing the
job.

So....I'm wondering, short of buying AdmitMac, has anyone determined a way
to get users who have logged via AD authentication, to be able to print to
W2k print queues that require authentication?
