Thanks. Here is some more einfo for you.....Dell has always been in the list
for me. The driver is for a Dell 2330d printer BUT although there are a lot
of drivers avaiable and I have tried them all, the one that works with
Terminal Server is the one obtaind by using the Windows Update feature in the
ad printer wizard. It is not avaivle from dell bu tonly from th eWindows
update servieces. Who knows why but that is the way it works. Please refer to
the link below article to see how it works. I have done this on many PC's for
a client and it works perfectly as long as DELL is listed in the Manufactures
list. One this one PC DEll is not listed. Google is silent on the issue.

I would like to know if that manufactureers list is updatable.

Ok,
I'm adding a printer on an XP Pro machine. Done it hundreds of times. This
time when i get to the screen that has the Manufacturers listing on the left
side and the printer on the rigth DELL is not listed on the left side. I need
it to be there so I can use the Windows Update button to get a specifiic
driver but without DELL listed on the left side as a manufacturer it's a no
go. The driver I need is not on a disk or download form a site and can only
be obtainded from the WIndow Update button on the printer install wizard.

Is there a text file or something on the XP workstation that feeds that left
side of avaiblebe manufactureres that i can put DELL in that will make it
come up?

Could not find any info on this anywhere.

That list is for basic drivers supplied with XP, and I don't think the
list has been updated since XP was released in 2001. Why can't you get a
driver from Dell? What's the model number of the printer?
