This is a driver error, that the drivers are mismatched.. <br />
It sounds like you, likely have windows 7 or newer clients, which would need a different driver than what is supported by 2k3. On the machines you get this error, you will need to install the manufacturer drivers directly on the client machines. You might at that point be able to use the 2k3 box as the print server on &quot;some&quot; printers, but unlikely on all. (Color will give you a real issue)
