Title: Workstation Printer Drivers
Post by: steve on January 19, 2002, 12:26:26 AM

It would be nice if printer drivers for the workstation O/S (I.E. Windows 2000 pro)
could be on the server and downloaded to the workstation when you connect to a printer.
Like the way Windows 2000 Server does with Windows 2000 Workstation.
No need to install drivers locally, gets them from the server when you connect to the network printer.

Agree.
Another thing that would be nice in the Printer Dialogue is an option to print some form of test page to the mapped printer - just a text file or something to make sure the server is seeing the printer properly.
