I checked the FAQ, etc and think I have a unique request...

I have a Win2K SP2 server that only handles print jobs for 8 networked HP Laserjet printers of varying type. I do not want this print server to push drivers to clients when they "add a network printer". I suspect that my XP clients are pulling the Win2k drivers which don't work for some HP printers.

Is there a way to stop the XP boxes from picking up drivers from the Win2k print server thereby forcing them to manually load the correct drivers?

Thanks for the help,
S-
