We have a situation where our NT users can't print from Windows 2000 Servers. Apparently
NT doesn't recognize the 2000 print server or whatever format it is using.

We've tried a number of workarounds that have not worked.

Any ideas?

THANKS

Here's something to try....
1. Use the Net Use command to connect to the Printer.

c:\Net use lpt1: \\\

2. Locate the Printer Share from the "My Network Neighborhood" find the Print server, and right click on it, and you should get a INSTALL option.

3. If the NT 4.0 drivers are not loaded on the Win2k Server under Printer Properties, then no NT machines will not be able to install the printer drivers. (Start>Settings>Printers>Properties>Sharing>Additional Drivers.)

Hope this helps..
