Remote printer driver not compatable with XP

Ask the system administrator of the NT4 server to add a usermode XP driver
to the server so you can get the download.

the 670 driver from HP is blocked on install because it causes the XP system
to bugcheck, although there is an inbox replacement that will install if you
have admin priveledge on your local system.

from \windows\inf\printupg.inf

"HP DeskJet 670C Series v11.0" = "HP DeskJet 670C", 1, 1, "", 1
; "<Broken OEM model name>" = "<In-box model name>", WksLevel, SrvLevel,
"mm/dd/yyyy", Unidrv5.4
;
; WksLevel is the warning level on a workstation: 2 = warn, 1=block
; SrvLevel is the warning level on a server: 2 = warn, 1=block
; If the date field is used, only drivers with core driver DLLs older
than this date will be deleted.
; Make sure year is given in a 4 digit format (i.e. not 98 but 1998)
; Make sure date field is separated with a comma.
; If there are multiple entries for one single driver to indicate that an
older version
; is blocked and a newer only warned, make sure these entries are sorted
by ascending date
; Unidrv5.4 indicates whether there exists a Unidrv 5.4 driver for a
warned or blocked driver.
; If the Unidrv 5.4 field exists, a value of 1 indicates that a Unidrv
5.4 does exist
