Hi all,

I've got a Windows 2000 print server in my company, it is having issues loading additional drivers in the properties of the printer.

By default it loads the w2k drivers but I also need the NT 4.0 drivers loaded. When going to share,and additional drivers it will not load them. It states that the driver is not the correct one. It is but still won't load.

The printer is an HP Laserjet 4000.

I have run the repairs for the print server and replaced the drivers but to no avail.

Has anyone heard of this?

Thanks!

I had this problem but with NT server and Win9x workstation.
A temporary solution is to add printer on this workstations with option where you will give the driver from your media CD (or from a share).
I have only three Win9x machine (the rest are WinNT) and was easy to solve the problem in this manner.

You might try to install the driver through print server properties. Then go to your share, and additional drivers to link the printer up with the new driver.
