| | Sharing A Plotter/Printer When I try to print (Laptop with Vista) to the Network (XP machine) Plotter, I receive this message " Windows cannot connect to the printer. The printer driver is not compatible with a policy enabled on your computer that blocks NT 4.0 drivers". I realize this is an old plotter, however the driver installs and works fine in the XP enviroment. Is there any way I can remove this policy? HP laptop; Vista Calcomp Techjet Designer 720 XP server Thanks! |

| | Re: Sharing A Plotter/Printer No the Vendor is no longer in business. How can I get this to work? It works great in the XP enviroment. Buying a new plotter is out of the question. I tried to stay with XP but HP said everything that worked in XP will work in Vista.....That's a lie!!
