Switched networks, then back and now bonjour no longer works

I was testing my neighbors network then i switched back and now my 2 PCs can no longer connect to the printer through bonjour. I ran the bonjour printer utility and it sees the printer on both, but then as it is connecting it says "you do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer" ive tried everything i can think of, i cant get it to wok on either network, and it used to work on mine. Each time it sees it there but gives the same error. I even tried changing the network name and doing it all over agian like the first day i connected them. I can see my shared folders and access files both form the PCs and the Mac. Its only the printers. HELP!!!

Hi abstractls,
You may be having the same problem as me. If the Airport Express is NOT connected to the internet, the Macs will still work, but the PC print routines say "you do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer" or just "An unknown error occurred during printing". If you reconnect the internet, the problem goes away.
I suspect that the PC is not getting an IP address assigned to it by the Airport Express, and cannot cope without it, but the Mac is OK.
My problem is that I do not want to connect the Airport Express to the net, I just want it to share a printer between Macs and PC. Does anyone know of a fix for that problem? I have told the Airport Express to ignore the lack of an internet connection, but that just switches off the amber light...
