You already got an answer in the other newsgroup to which you posted.
Multiposting like this won't get you a better answer here.

If the mftr. doesn't support what you want to do and the third-party program
you tried doesn't work, then you can't do what you'd like with this printer
and this operating system (Vista). End of story. Move on.

and multiposting (bad):
