My question is that I am trying to prevent local users (limited
account types) from printing ? What might be the easiest way to do
this on a Windows XP Pro computer ? The printer is attached to
directly to the computer. I want to be able to prevent all users
except for the account for the administrator to be able to print.

Don't install local printers.
Setup printers on Print Servers and print through Queues and use access control privileges.

I don't think there is an easy way. If you can set the group
policy (via gpedit.msc) so that it causes each logon event
to be recorded in the Event Logger, and if you can identify
by name the users that are not supposed to print then it is
possible to run a script in the background that monitor the
Event Logger and will either start or stop the print service,
thus enabling or disabling printing.
