Hello Guys
my problem is i have a Laser Printer HP 1100 installed on Windows 98 pc and
i want to install this printer thru network on the second pc which has
Win2000 installed
i do this by installing the printer driver from the printer cd and tells it
that the printer is installed on a network computer not locally and the
installation going fine but it's still not working and not appears on the
printers folder
and i tried to install it by click the printer share on the first pc but it
tells me that the printer compatible with this version of windows

any help please will be appreciated
please send a copy on my e-mail
(e-mail address removed)

thank you & best regards
 
this HP released driver will cause bugchecks on Win2k so it is blocked.
Use the inbox (from the win2k cd) driver for this model
"HP LaserJet 1100 (MS)",


from \windows\inf\printupg.inf
; This section gives the model name mapping.
;
; 1) The syntax is
;
; "<Broken OEM model name>" = "<In-box model name>", WksLevel, SrvLevel,
"mm/dd/yyyy", Unidrv5.4
;
; WksLevel is the warning level on a workstation: 2 = warn, 1=block
; SrvLevel is the warning level on a server: 2 = warn, 1=block
; If the date field is used, only drivers with core driver DLLs older
than this date will be deleted.
; Make sure year is given in a 4 digit format (i.e. not 98 but 1998)
; Make sure date field is separated with a comma.
; If there are multiple entries for one single driver to indicate that an
older version
; is blocked and a newer only warned, make sure these entries are sorted
by ascending date
; Unidrv5.4 indicates whether there exists a Unidrv 5.4 driver for a
warned or blocked driver.
; If the Unidrv 5.4 field exists, a value of 1 indicates that a Unidrv
5.4 does exist
;
; 2) In case there is no In-box support for the broken OEM Printer, the
; printer driver will be deleted. The syntax is
;
; "<Broken OEM model name>" = "", WksLevel, SrvLevel
;
; 3) If the driver has to be deleted but only on the basis of the date
; (as explained above) the syntax is
;
; "<Broken OEM model name>" = "", WksLevel, SrvLevel, "mm/dd/yyyy"
;


"HP LaserJet 1100" = "HP LaserJet 1100 (MS)", 1, 1, "11/27/1999", 1
