Just what ARE you up to today mr lilley? :)

I've had XP machines printing to NT print servers, which is kinda
along the lines you're getting at, I guess. When mapping the printers
to the XP machine, XP would come up saying no suitable driver found,
please choose, and giving me Windows' normal printer driver list.. Do
you not get this? If not, have you turned off the "dont install v2
drivers" policy?

I'd check you're not doing a PCL6-> PCL5 or PS (or whatever!)
conversion along the way. You could also check the print processor i
guess, as I wouldnt be surprised if 2003 supported a higher EMF
version than 2000 did - although RAW is the default, so it ought to
just work :/
