Would anyone know how to revise the additional print drivers in Windows 2000 Server. I need to replace the existing Postscript WIN95/98 print drivers for an HP2500 (a mistake during setup) with the HP recommended PCL3 drivers. There doesn't seem to be any way to do this.

Am I overlooking something REALLY obvious??

Thanks,

Bruce

Nt puts installed printer drivers in the c:\winnt\system32\spool\drivers go there and remove the unwanted printer driver directory. then go back and use the additional drivers features to reinstall the new diver. You may have to reboot, can not remember.

Thanks Ivan - that hit the nail on the head!! Problem solved and new drivers installed. Just had to know where to look!!

Well, first you'll need to delete old drivers.
To do this go to Printers folder-> File-> Server Properties. Go to Drivers Tab and remove the wrong one. After that simply reinstall additional driver.

That should do the trick.

I don't know what Microsoft thought about making it in this manner, but that's the only way to remove wrong printer driver from Win2K.
