Re: trying to install printer.....
XP does have the driver build in. I can not find a way to get it loaded
however. I have loaded it under local printer but that does me no good.
When I load network printer it automatically tries to load from NT
system and does not give me a way to get it to load from local XP
system. Any ideas?
