Replace the printer, as it is not supported and does not work on Windows 2008 R2.

I'm in the process of migrating printers to a new Print Server, running Microsoft Server 2008 R2, for the most part it's been going fine. But we have a problem with a HP LaserJet 2600n. This printer is not supported by HP Universal Printer drivers, nor has its drivers been updated passed Server 2003. I've tried all the drivers that HP offer on there site for the 2600n, but none seems to work.

So I ask here if anyone has successfully managed to get this printer working on Windows server 2008 and how.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE:
In the end we replaced the printer.

Tried them. They want the printer connected via USB, not networked. I managed to get round that, but once installed they cause explorer to crash when you open print properties.
