printing to queues on os X server from win 2000

hi,

i have been having problems printing to print queues set up on OS X server 10.2.6 from win2000 pro clients.

I have several print queues set up on OS X server with appletalk, SMB and LPR printing enabled and have been adding the queues to the windows clients by navigating to the server, double clicking on the queue name. Windows promts if i want to install the driver on the computer and i point it to the driver location in the add printer dialog. Following are the 2 scenarios after this..

1. On some machines it seems as though the driver installation starts, (message about driver not certified by microsoft shows up) and then i point them to the driver and printer is added.

2. On other machines, i point them to the driver first, it gives me the choice of which printer of the 2 or 3 supported by the driver i want to install and only after that i get the dialog from microsoft about driver certification and installation proceeds.

When i get scenario 1, the printer is not installed properly. I have had this problem with xerox docucolor 1632 on 7 machines but other machines follow scenario 2 and printer is installed fine.

Has anyone had similar problems with print queues? Is there something i am doing wrong or things that i need to check?

I have been on the phone with xerox and they have no clue… apple doesnt go any further than setting up queues so i am stuck in no support land.

Any help would be much appreciated.
