I am trying to set up a Vista Laptop and joining it to my SBS 2003 network.  I am not having any success in it finding any printers in the active directory.
 
I have followed the steps in KB926505 for setting up and patching both the server and the laptop before adding it to the network. 
 
Anyone know what I can do to get to the network printers?

The point is that your SBS does not have any Vista drivers. This means it will not be able to push those printers as you would normally get on Windows XP clients. Easiest way to fix this is to setup the printers locally and map them to the IP address of that printer.
 
Does this makes any sense to you?
