[THIN] print drivers

HI,
 
OK were to start, we a rolling out about 200 Vista pcs, but we still use metaframe XP on 2000 servers with published desktops (I know !)
All printers are HP from old Laser Jet 4m to 4730 MFP's, I am currently building a test print server to test the compatibility of updating all the print drivers to Vista ones and then see if all these drivers will still work when the user logs into citric.
 
Questions?
  1. HP have a UPD driver that appears to be the only Vista driver available for certain models, Would I be better to try and use this for all printers ?
  2. On my test print server I have migrated all queues and drivers over, is there an easy way to change the driver for each printer or do I have to update for each in turn.
  3. Is there any backwards compatibility issues with Vista print drivers form HP running on 2000 servers.
thanks
Ronnie
