TymbrWlf 0 Posted January 3, 2000 I've noticed something strange about installing printers in W2k: If I attach the printer to the W2K box, it installs and sets up just fine; if I attach that same printer to another computer on a network and try to connect to it, I get a browse box that is looking for an *.inf file instead of a box that lets me choose the correct driver. If I try to use the NT4 drivers that came with the printer, W2K will act like it's installing them but then it will give me an error. At first I thought it might just be my specific printer (HP Deskjet 660C), but this same thing happens no matter what printer I try to use (I've tried 4 different printer - all HP's). And I know that there are drivers for my printer in W2K, because when I tried installing the printer locally, it found it. Any ideas? The printer is installed on a WinNT 4.0 Server. I know how to share a printer, etc, but I'm confused because W2K obviously has an embedded driver for this printer; Why isn't it using this driver when I connect to this printer over a network?
