Greetings all, A belated thank you to Larry Nail (for the KB article) and the others who provided me the basic clues on this. Events transpired so that it wasn't really tested out till today. :-/ As it happens we have all HP printers in that area so our work was extremely easy, once I knew where to check. We have NON-Hp printers (a number of Lexmarks) so this will be valuable in the future. Thanks again all, Charlotte Blackmer Sr. LAN Administrator Alameda County ITD Oakland, California Quoted message below: ------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: W2K Print Drivers on NT4 From: "Larry Nail" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2001 11:51:25 -0500 X-Message-Number: 83 How to Install a Windows 2000 Print Driver in Windows NT 4.O for Point and Print http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q263/0/90.ASP : -----Original Message----- : From: Blackmer, Charlotte, ITD [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] : Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2001 11:21 AM : To: NT System Admin Issues : Subject: W2K Print Drivers on NT4 : : : Hello all, : : This is a dumb basic question, but I've looked in The Usual : Places (technet, Andrew's KB, etc.) without success.
