NLocal Printer vista and XP sharing

[Guest]

i have my printer connected to my PC, it is an XP computer. I want to allow
my other PC to share the printer. It is a newer Vista (operating sys) PC.
When I go to 'sharing' it asks for additional drivers, if different from main
PC. It doesn't list the new Vista operating system. What do I do? The PC's
are in different rooms and I want the printer to be close to the XP PC.

Providing the printer does indeed have Vista drivers (from the printer
manufacturer's website) you can use

as the instructions to work through to share the printer from the XP PC to
the Vista PC.
