Printer Driver Issue with W2K

[SKent]

This is a good one for PBXMAN. I have a numbr of W2K Pro workstations running on the network and I have a NT4.o sp6a Print Server. It seems that I may have a person updating a printer driver on a machine which in turns updates the driver on the print server or it appears so. But it also seems like the driver is changed on all alike printers. The scenario ...
10 HP4500 Printers on the print server which runs NT4.0 driver. A person using W2K makes a change to the printer configuration / driver and it changes the configuraiton at the print server which affects all people connected to the printer ... it also seems to change driver/configuration on the other 9 machines of the same type in which the person does not have a connection ..
is it posssessed by evil spirits ... is there a way to give a user to manage documents without giving access to manage machines in a split Nt4 and W2K environment ???
Thanks

I also have the same problem. Except I have a Win2K server. I think the problemhas to do with the fact that in order to log onto our domain, the Win2K station is viewed as a server by the Win2K Server and since I and some others have Administrative privileges anything we do can affect the Win2K server printer configurations. I have had a couple of problems with this happening. I would like to know if there's a way to stop it too.
