I hadn't really noticed any problems with drivers until I came across 
this problem, because most of our printers are relatively old (LJ 4000) 
and the drivers worked. But since we got a couple of Laserjet 4200tn and 
4250tn it's been extremely frustrating.

I did manage to make it take the LJ4200tn driver on a different server 
running 3.0.10, but I did have this exact problem for a while on there. 
I must have just done something by accident and it just worked. That's 
why I thought there may be a trick.

But other drivers do work so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong..
