I've had print drivers work or not work, but never blow up a server or workstation.
*Sometimes* 2003 print drivers will work just fine on 2000.

I have an analyst that needs to get some new printers built on their application/print server and HP’s site only has print drivers for the Windows 2003, XP and Windows 7/2008 systems but nothing for a Windows 2000 system, and I am a little leery of putting Windows 2003 based drivers on this old Windows 2000 SP4 system and blowing it up, and having to restore from tape backup accordingly. Any ideas, I rather not blow up a server to satisfy this persons curiosity… Z ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
