Hello everybody

I've got a Windows 2003 print server and need all the drivers for new released printers, because when people are working at home they use printers which are unkown to my Windows 2003 print server system. Atm there are just a few old drivers installed on the system so that the guys with the new printers don't have access to my print server system. Thus I need all the new drivers which are e.g. available in the new Windows Vista OS. Vista really has a huuuuge driver database, so i don't have to download all the new drivers from each company's website manually ...

Now my question is how to export the print drivers out of Vista and include them into Windows XP? I guess they should be downwardly compatible....


thx 4 info in advance

so long

you may want to recheck the Microsoft software license terms of the Vista. i don't fully understand all the legal stuff in the license terms myself, it's just seemed to me that you legally cannot do that with the software.
