Can anyone tell me how to make NT 3.51 Print on a computer running XP Pro acting as a print server? I keep getting a message asking if i want to install the drivers on my computer, and i click yes, and then it cancels the copy on its own.

Chances are, you'll have to manually install the printer drivers on the NT 3.51 machine. XP does have a nice feature that support automatic downloading of print drivers, when you first connect to a printer, but to my knowledge (somebody correct me if I'm wrong) that does not work if the client is NT 3.51...only NT 4.0 or higher.
The problem is, finding drivers for NT 3.51. They're far and few between, but I'll just wish you luck in searching. :-D

Addition to my last post....MAYBE (big maybe there) you can get an NT 4.0 driver to work...I don't know, I've only used 4.0 before. Good luck again!
