Getting a list of built in printer drivers

[1oldfoxman]

Probably a stupid question (from a non-system-administrator):

Is there a way to get a list of all the "built in" printer drivers on a Win2K server? Like if you were adding a printer, you get a dialog box of all the available drivers to choose from (or " I Have Disk"). I need to get a text file list of all the manufacturers/printers already loaded on the server when Windows Server was installed.

It sounds odd, I know, but I have very specific need to create this list..... (and 500 screen shots won't do it for me!)

I'd be grateful for any help or ideas.

Try this. Go to Start -> Setting -> Printers. Click on "File" then "Server Properties" and on the drivers tab. Then if you can figure out how to export them from there you should be good to go.

If anyone calls and says "I know a little something about computers" just tell them to reformat it.

That will only list installed drivers, not all available drivers.

Built in drivers / printers certified with Windows 2000 are available page by page from

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hcl/default.mspx

But I can't get them onto one web page.

To clarify, it's that list of drivers installed on this specific server that I'm after, as opposed to a list of all drivers available anywhere.

Thanks for the help thus far; it's the "if you can figure out how to export them from there " part that I'm struggling with.
