I just installed an HP Laserjet 4200N on a network server and create a printer share. Whenever I try and install the driver on a Win98 system, I get a Spool32.exe error and the printers disappear. If i install this printer on an NT or W2K system, it works fine.

When the error has occured I have no choice but to reboot as Explorer else will act in a strange way with a varity of errors.
