NT computer can't use printer on win2k computer

I have a 3 computer setup going- 2 running win2k, 1 running NT 4.0 (service pack 6). All can share files and the internet, and the 2 win2k can share the printer (HP laserjet 6L). The problem is when I go to setup the network computer on the NT system, it tells me that "the host computer does not have a suitable driver installed- would you like to install one locally?" I then direct it to the newest drivers I downloaded from HP, but it tells me it cannot recognize the driver (even though I can use these drivers to install the printer directly). For what its worth, it all worked fine when the 2 win2k boxes were running win98se. Any suggestions?
 
Hve you tried adding the additional drivers for the NT machine on the 2K machine: printer> properties> additional drivers.
 
I did not know that menu existed. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work, but I think its because it asked for the "Windows 2000 Server" CD, and I only have the Pro version. I tried to direct it to the NT drivers I downloaded from HP, but that didn't work. If all I need is the win2k Server CD, that shouldn't be a problem for me to borrow. Thanks for the help.
