Hello !

Here is scenario:
Network without domain, about 15 computers, all of them using network printer: Konica 7135/IP423 PCL, which is connected to computer running WinXP. On that machine installed drivers for printer are for Win NT and Win 2000.

I have a laptop which runs Vista RC1, Ultimate. That laptop does not find any network printers. Unless i specify which computer they are connected to. That is first issue. The second:

Konica printer has assigned IP, Vista, when instructed to look at that IP sees that printer, although is unable to install drivers automatically. Message says something like that: Current policy is not allowing of installation Windows NT 4.0 drivers.

When i tried to install drivers from other location (downloaded from Konica-Minolta site original driver for WinXP), it installs, but have problem connecting and printing documents. Any ideas how to solve that ?
