    Unhappy Setting Up printer

    I have a new dell windows 2000 professional computer hooked to network(brand new). There are two printers and 1 plotter available to this computer. I had no problem adding 1 printer and 1 plotter. Both of these were attached to computers on the network. The other printer is an Hp 1000 and it is connected I beleive to the server, and I am unable to get it to configure. It's giving me an error message saying that the computer your connecting to doesn't have the correct driver. I checked it out in the Microsoft Knowledge Database and it is a know bug. It tells me to free space on the "system" and try again. Has anyone ran across this before? and if so how did you handle it.
    Thanks
    Craig
