Alan,
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 307016. I followed
the instructions in that. I have since also found
another way of doing it which is a little easier at
http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/NetPrinterAllUsers.htm
But regardless of the method I get the same result. By
Windows 2000 I do mean the domain controllers. As far as
both explanations go there is no mention of drivers. Is
there a way of manually installing the drivers without
adding the printer? I mean, this sounds like a really
simple operation and something that really should be
easily achieved but seems to great all sorts of
nightmares.
