      the answer to the first is quit simple. On the win2k computer sharing the printer, in the configuration tab of the printer. on the sharing tab there is a place that you can load addition drivers. load the win nt 4.0 driver for the printer. when you nt 4.0 systems try to install it , it will brag the correct drivers from the server. Not a usb issue at all . I have done this to many times now

      I would advise on either deleting the account if there are only two. Copy all the emails the a local system and delete the account. then you can create all new accounts/mailboxes on a clean slate and will not have to worry with pre-existing settings. I have ran into the issue of some accounts not working with reinstalls and upgrades. the easiest solution I have found is to either readd permissions to the mailboxes , using the exchange snap in or si,ply delete and readd the accounts .
