Error: Invalid printer name

I can browse to the printer, and tell it to connect, it then say windows needs a to set up your printer. It comes up with the above error,either way. I can go add printers(blah, blah ,blah) and it will come up every time.
Specs:
work station win 2000 sp4
server Server 2000 sp4
print server hp
It does this on trying to install any printer.

Thanks in advance
