I have a networked HP4500 laser printer running from an NT4 printer server,
the windows 2000 pro clients can't obtain the printer drivers from the
server, and I can't get the provided drivers from HP for w2k to work from
the local client to connect to the printer. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

the HP Color LaserJet 4500?

If it's using this driver it's blocked from install

"HP C LaserJet 4500-HP" = "HP Color LaserJet 4500", 1, 1, "11/27/1999"

; 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


Do you get any errors on the clients when you attempt to connect or add the
driver?
