How do I add drivers for XP on my Windows 2000 print servers?
I can't print from my XP machine to some of my printers on Windows 2000 print server. How can I add the drivers? I seem to be able to use the 2000 driver for some printers but not all.

Add the printer(s) locally and then change their LPT port to a network port after the install.

I disagree. Downloading drivers is irrelevant to a print server. It's port issue, not driver issue. You must first add the port for the device before you can locate the printer and then add drivers.
Well this was not soon after xp was release (oct 2001) a lot of print servers did not have an xp driver and I know from experience they not compatable
Well your paq'ing it now, and the question is only 14 months old.
Just doing what I was told...
You were told by someone to split this question because of a printer driver download that has little or no relevance to a print server issue?
I disagree it also is a driver issue and not just a port issue.
I expected that you would Crazy!

The idea is to get help. I should have withdrawn the question.
Actaully you should have reentered the question especially after ewtaylor's post of 7/11 and informed us where you stood on this problem. It has been four months since you last posted and EE considers a question that hasn't had any input from a questioner for that period of time as being abandoned and it then is up to EE to decide what happens to the question. Since you didn't return until after the fact EE was left to make the decision themselves.
Actaully it has been 16 months since you last posted. Which means that EE sees this questiion as being a dead issue altogether.
