Installed a printer on W2k system and shared it.
Other w2k users can print fine.
Trying to print from NT 4.0 w/s requires "additional drivers" be installed for Intel NT 4.0 - this is fine....but it asks for Windows 2000 Server CD to do it. We don't have that CD...how do we get the files needed?

I think that you don't have a complete driver to support the NT clients. Check for a newer driver or on NT client when you try to add network printer use option and give the printer driver CD. If you have multiple installs copy the content of the CD on a share and access it from there.
About W2k CD: if you dont have the CD (why?) maybe you have the cabs (kit) on HDD.

down load the drivers you need off of the web. extract the drivers to a folder. Now on the additional drivers scrren, select browse and find the folder where your drivers are. this is install the drivers and the nt4.0 machines can use the computer.Although if you don't have the cd I would recommend that you do find/buy/borrow one. IF you need to repair of add additional options to the server you will need the cd.
