Hi,

First,how did you migrate the printing infrastructure?

Second, check if you installed the directory service client?

Third, Now, the printers are all connected to a print server?

Best regards,

Hello all,

I have just migrated our printing infrastructure to Windows Server
2003
R2. I now have a issue where Windows NT 4 workstations cannot connect to
any
printers. While trying to add (or re-add) printers, I'm getting "printer
name is invalid". Any pointers on where to look would be most welcome.
