I have installed from internet every driver I can get hold of, but there must be a driver out there for sharing printers.
 
Many thanks

You need to have the w2k driver loaded on the w2k machine, and the NT driver loaded on the NT machine for that to work. Appropriate drivers do seem to be available.
