    I have a Sharp printer that comes with it's own 98, Win2K,
    XP print driver setup. When I try to install it, it runs
    fine but fails to show up in the list of available
    printers. However if I go to Print Server, Drivers, the
    Sharp Driver is listed.

    Ok, I thought I could finesse the problem by installing it
    on a Win2K client & sharing it. It installs & works fine
    on the client, but when I try to add it to the Win2003
    Server as a network printer I get the following error
    message;

    "The current printer driver is not compatible with a
    policy enabled that blocks Windows NT4.0 or Windows 2000
    kernel drivers"

    How to I disable this policy???
