Error The current printer driver is not compatible with a policy enabled on your computer that blocks Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 kernel mode drivers
Oct 16, 2008 Home Windows 10 Windows 10 Mobile. I'm trying to install a printer Lexmarl 4800 series WiFi and I get a message saying “the policy of your computer blocks NT 4.0. “The current printer driver is not compatible with a policy enabled on your computer that blocks Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 kernel-mode drivers” This is the latest driver from HP so I guess it’s been around a while. It sounds like a group policy setting is preventing me from using the old drivers. I tried to update the drivers only to find that the driver would not install because it was incompatible due to the policy that blocks NT 4.0 drivers. I am running Windows 10 Pro which is all up to date with updates. I have only bought this printer because my HP 2542 became incompatible with Windows 10. In the print server page drivers, delete the old one, then click on 'add new one' - 'Windows Update.' - wait a little bit, it's gonna take time before the tab opens -, search the manufacturer and the model of your printer (for me it was: 'HP ENVY 5540 series ') and then click on install drivers.

Release
When you install printer drivers , you may receive the following error message and cannot install printer.
“Unable to Install Printer. The printer driver is not compatible with a policy enabled on your computer that blocks Windows NT 4.0 drivers. If you want to use this driver, contact your system administrator about disabling this policy”
Solution
This behavior occurs because Windows does not support Kernel mode print drivers by default.
For windows XP
Open the group policy editor by typing gpedit.msc on RUN prompt and locate the path
Under Local Computer Policy, double-click Computer Configuration. Double-click Administrative Templates, and then double-click Printers.Right-click Disallow installation of printers using kernel mode drivers, and then click properties.On the Setting tab, click Disabled, and then click OK.
If you enable this the installation of kernel-mode printer drivers will be prevented.
For updating group policy use gpupadte /force command in command prompt
