Can Win2000 print drivers be user mode??

[Chortler]

I've got a HP6122 printer and I would like to set up a queue under
Win2003. I can't find any 2003 drivers so I'm using the 2000 drivers.
Would these drivers (And other Win2000 drivers) be similar in design
to Win2003 drivers? IE: Are Win2000 drivers capable of running in user
mode??

Yes, Windows 2000 can use "version 3" drivers (user mode)

Only NT insists on using kernel mode drivers.
