[RESOLVED] Win2k drivers

Open letter to Printer Manufactuers. OK folks Windows 2000 is out!!! You can release Win2k drivers now, which most of you are NOT doing. Thanks barry

Good point. My HP LaserJet 6L works under win2k courtesy of the MS driver automatically added during the OS install - but there are no drivers available (on the win2k Pro CD, or from HP) to allow printing via network from win9x or NT boxes. If I try to install a driver for win9x or NT locally on the other machine for the printer on the win2k box, it won't accept it - though it accepts it for use with a local printer. HP's response: "we don't support networks, Sir - only printers". Microsoft's online Help is encouraging: "You can do it" (but not much about how). Hmmm... (At least the printer installed under win2k "just works". That I like!)
