Have a new Wins 2000 Print Server, and am currently installing the drivers, for most of our Printers. I have a HP 4050, for which I can't seem to load the NT 4 driver:
Error:
"...an inf file" won't load?
Can I force the driver...or any tips?

Thanks...

Do you specifically need the NT4 driver?

You would be better going with the 2000 driver:
http://www.hp.com/cposupport/swindexes/hplaserjet10807_swen.html

This is for the base 4050, if you need the letter specialty search for the 4050 and you will get a page that will link to the printer drivers.

If you need the NT 4 driver for an older system to use the print server, you should be able to load the Win2k driver and then add the NT 4 driver as a secondary. I don't have a server in frontof me to confirm this, but check out:

Sorry the link is so long, if you search the MS knowledge base for the Q article it is easier to find.

Hope this helps,
