Default printer sharing problem


i have vista x64 with a epson 830u printer installed works fine
tried to setup my home network/printershare what would normaly take
about 5 mins with xp not so with vista


my problem at the moment is when i setup the printer on the xp machine
im told driver on the x64 machine isnt the right one and i have to click
browse to find it one

no matter what i do i can't find the driver in this way as it comes in
a .exe
that can't be extracted

i could just install the driver via the .exe xp myself but thats not
good enough for microsoft it has to do it via the inf files that i dont
have or can't get


i have a feeeling i will be back on xp 32bit by the end of the week at
this rate
i dont have the time to fight with my OS tbh


can anyone help ?
