Installing a printer on wireless home network

I am trying to install a printer on my new Toshiba with Vistas home edition.
The printer is attached to another computer (with XP) and there is a wireless
Linksys router that provides the home network. The laptop identifies the
printer (sees it through the residential gateway) when I view computers and
devices in the Network and Sharing centre but doesn't find it when I try to
Add a Printer. Help?

if vista doesn't have the drivers for the printer you are out of luck.
check the printer manufacture site for drivers.
