Any other processor types must use Windows NT drivers from Microsoft.To install the printer driver on a Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP server, you must have administrator privileges. To completely install the Windows NT 4.0 printer driver on the Windows NT 4.0 server (or the Windows 2000 printer driver on the Windows 2000 server), you must have administrator privileges on the server.
