Yeah, I knew about the MST option for future installations. Unfortunately, this won't help me with my existing ones, right? Or can I go back and change those options?

Some options: a) Remove the Document Image Writer from your Office 2003 installation. Be sure to alter the .mst you use to install Office 2003 to not include the Document Image Writer. b) a login script that sets the default printer to any locally attached printer that's not the Office 2003 Document Image Writer - be sure to take into account things like PDF creation software and MS Fax.
