Microsoft Network Printers by all manufacturers Printer Driver

Microsoft Network Printers by all manufacturers Driver. For anyone having problems with installing network printers under Windows 2000 Professional (I don't know if the problem applies to all versions of Windows 2k or not, but this post may cover all Windows2k versions), the problem is not with the printer driver, but with Windows2000. Check this page, it details the problem, it's an inability to negotiate a password with other OS's for network printers. There are two fixes, which are described here. support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb EN-US q121074

I don't have time to submit this to every company that manufactures a printer, so I'm putting it under M$'s page... hope this helps some people out there. -G
