AddPrinterConnection fails: 1797: Unknown printer driver

 AddPrinterConnection fails: 1797: Unknown printer driver

ServerA: NT4.0 SP6 Backup Domain Controller
ServerB: NT4.0 SP6 Backup Domain Controller

A VB ActiveX EXE server on ServerA issues the
AddPrinterConnection API specifying \\ServerB\Printer1.

This printer does in fact exist on ServerB and the NT
driver does exist.

The purpose of this call is to get the driver installed on
ServerA.

The function fails with a 1797 Error code: Unknown printer
driver.

Does anyone know what is causing this problem, or have any
suggestions/examples of how to copy printer drivers from
one server to another programmatically?
