Network Shared Printer Problem

[natasha]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsnt.print (More info?)

I have just installed an Epson Aculaser C900 via an Intel
Netport Express print server, this is attached to an NT4
Server and has been shared on the network. This NT4
Server can print without any problems, but the other
workstations are Win98, and when I try to add the printer
to one of these workwstations I get the following
error "This printer cannot be installed now because its
driver EPKAI1CC.DRV could not be loaded. The driver
or .INF file may be damaged. Restart windows and try
again." These drivers are being installed from the
network, but I cannot see the folder specified on the NT4
server!. I guess that its possibly loadeding the NT4
drivers instead of the Win98 drivers for this printer.
Any assistance would be great, as I can't see the wood for
the trees now!.

I doubt that it's trying to load an NT4 printer driver. A *.drv driver
normally indicates a Win9x driver. Where did you get the Win9x driver from?
Can you try to reinstall the driver on the Win98 machine?

When running the EPSON installation CD, it asks if
additional drivers are required for other operating
systems i.e. WIN9x, so they would be from the EPSON
Installation CD. However, when adding the printer to a
workstation, it automatically loads, or tries to load
these drivers off the network drive (somewhere, I do not
know where they are coming from?). If I specify Have
disk, I cannot load from a network drive, only the A:
drive, as there are no CD drives in these machines. Will
try and copy some of the files onto a floppy for the A:
drive and see if this helps?

Regards

On the computer that has the printer, goto to ...
my computer
--> printers
--> epson printer
now, right click the printer icon and select properties.
now, locate the TAB "sharing". Look to see if the radio
button is selected for sharing. If it is good, if not
select it. Then look down on the list of alterante drivers
to load so that other computers can download the proper
drivers when they connect the network share. If you can
not see the Win9x drivers try reloading the epson driver
(if there is an advanced mode try that) cd and try this
process again. Good luck
