The setup;
School I do some consulting for has a Win2000 server. It was set up by a "volunteer" 5-6 years ago (I chose not to inqiure of its license status...).
We (the school, and me, their tech) do not know the password(s).
We had a copier/printer running...
To set up a PC to print to that Copier/Printer, we would enter the IP number of the WIn2K server in the printer setup, and it would install the driver to the PC (Win XP), and print to it.. apparently (?) through the Win2K server.
That copier/printer died. It's been replaced.
The Win2K server (since we don't have the admin password and can't contact the person that does...) doesn't have the driver for the new one.
What is the Win2K server "doing" in this setup (if you can even tell from my somewhat vague description...), and can I replicate this service using my OS 10.3.9 Server at that school site?
