I installed a HP LaserJet 6L on a WinXP Pro machine, and shared it out for other users. It works great on the XP machine, and any 2000, and 98 machines printing to it, but NT 4.0 users can not even add this printer! It says when trying to setup the network printer, that the host machine does not have a driver for your computer, and you must install the driver locally. Here is what I have done:
#1 - Tried unsuccessfully to install the driver on the WinXP machine under additional drivers. It tells me it's not a compatible driver.
#2 - Tried unsuccessfully to install the driver to the NT 4.0 machine, again it tells me that it's not a compatible driver.
I've downloaded the drivers from HP, and used Administrator level access to try to install the network printer.
Also, I've tried this with several NT 4.0 machines to confirm that it's not just 1 machine that is giving me this problem.
Any one have any ideas on what to do next?
