SYMPTOMS
When you download the printer drivers for Hewlett-Packard (HP) 4V and 4MV LaserJet and Epson Stylus Color printers from the Microsoft Windows NT Driver Library (WNTDL), the drivers do not install properly from a floppy disk drive.

If you copy the Epson Color Stylus printer driver, ESCP2MS.EXE, to a 3.5- inch disk and then attempt to install the driver on Windows NT Workstation, a prompt appears asking you to insert disk 16 for NT Workstation.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, copy the files to a directory on the hard disk drive. When the dialog box appears asking you to insert the disk in drive A, instead, enter the path where the files are stored on the hard disk. The printer driver installs properly.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Windows NT version 3.5. We are researching this problem and will post any new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

The third-party products discussed here are manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
