We work in a mixed domain and have the same problem. As I understand it, you
can't put NT4 print drivers on a 2000 print server, nor can you put 2000 print
drivers on an NT4 server. At least you have one of each. What you could do is
have all (or many depending on usage) printers connected to both servers.
Users could connect to the printer they want through the server that has the
same OS as their workstation.
Our situation is worse. Our workstations are XP and our servers NT4. We had
to pre-install XP drivers on every workstation for most printers, since we
can't put XP drivers on an NT4 server.

ThWe have two print servers, one an NT box, the other a 2000 print server.
When our NT workstations try to add a printer from the 2000 box, it has an
incomatible driver. I've tried going into the 2000 PS and add additional
drivers, specifically the checkbox for Intel Windows NT or 2000. Each time I
try to add this driver, it tells me that it is either not compatible or not
there. How do you get a 4.0 driver on a 2000 print server?

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.
