Client-side printing from NT with SP2

We have installed SP2 and client-side printing from the browser is working
fine for our users on XP/IE6. However, we have some users with NT4/IE6 on
their machines. They are able to view reports, but when they click the Print
icon, nothing happens (no error, no prompt, nothing).
Is the ActiveX control for printing included in SP2 supported for clients
using NT4?Ah, crap...
Same here. That's a show stopper!!!

work or it might not but MS spends 0 time testing with it. It is not part of
their test suite. Extended support expired almost a year ago. I assume the
users can continute to export to PDF and print that way.

WinME.
