I have a problem using a Windows 2000 Server as a print server and running XP Professional on the client. There are problems printing to certain print devices. One in particular is the HP2000C. Is there a known problems with this particular print driver and if so where can I find information on it and how to resolve this problem.

First, you can always go on the HP site, to check for the latest drivers.
From my experience, working in a Civil Engineering firm (300 computers), with a lot of CAD family programs, the XP system was not the best choice. This is why, after a test period, I down-graded the network to W2K Professional clients, and all problems with network printing from different programs (AutoCAD, Corel etc) stopped. I don't want to say that XP is not a good product, but this is what I experienced in this specific case, and this is what I give you as "report". Also, if HP2000C is a network printer, download the webadmin program from the HP site, and use it. It is worth to do that!

Printer Drivers are different for Windows XP and so create a port(Standard TCP/IP) at client. You may need to install software or provide path of printer drivers while ur system is creating the port.
