Reasons to pick either...

1) Pick XP.  That OS is closer to 2003
2) Pick 2000.  Maybe it understands Terminal Server
3) Pick XP.  It means that the driver is probably newer.  The further that
driver code gets from NT the better.

Check with the manufacturer if possible.  I'd try XP first.  So far that has
worked for me with printers -- but not some graphic drivers.

I am building a Windows 2003 terminal server to start testing with.

When downloading manufacturer's printer drivers, is it best to download the
Windows XP driver or the Windows 2000 driver?

What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers? Did you
know, in most cases, CPU Utilization IS NOT the single biggest
constraint to scaling up?! Get this free white paper to understand the
real constraints & how to overcome them. SAVE MONEY by scaling-up rather
than buying more servers.
