From a Windows 2000 Workstation I add a network printer.
The printer in question is connected to a PC running
NT4.0. The printer adds fine. When you try to print to
it all icons disappear from the desktop and the only thing
you can do is bring up task manager. I can't tell whether
the job even spools because in order to get back anything
I have to logoff. No errors show in the event log.

Sounds like it generated an access violation. What you might try install the
printer driver locally, then Setting|Printers|"printer"|Ports|Add Port|Local
Port|New Port, then in the port name specify the complete printer's share
name (as shared on Windows NT machine) something like \\WinNT\HPPrinter
Where \\WinNT\HPPrinter is the full UNC path to the shared printer.
