Connect to network printer ?

I have RC2 (5744) installed and running.

I'm trying to "add a network printer". The printer is physically
attached to an old machine running Windows NT4.

I'm getting a prompt that says:

Windows cannot connect to the printer. The printer driver is not
compatable with a policy enabled on your computer that blocks NT4.0
drivers.

Can someone tell me how to modify this policy such that I can connect
to the printer?

Thanks.

Re: Connect to network printer ?

Can someone give me a clue here? I can't get past this.

What policy do I have to modify and how do I do it?
