I migrate all my printers from Winnt to Win2K including HP Deskjet 670. My
clients is complaining that they cannot add this printer due to driver
problem. I try to add Windows NT drivers on this printer from WIndows 2000
CD but Win2K prompt me that "The printerdriver is not compatible with
current version of windows ....", I tried to install the Winnt driver to
Win2k but it didn't work. Need help with this.

On Win2k, drivers are stored in C:\WINNT\System32
\spool\DRIVERS\...
See where the drivers are stored in your NT server, so you
can copy them to the Win2k Server.
Keep track of the files you copy, just so you can undo
them.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
