Network printer drivers
I'm running a simple home network under WindowsXP Home with my Vista Home Premium 64 box networked to the XP box, hardwired through a wireless router. My Epson printer is running on the XP box and is set up to be shared on the network. Trying to print from the Vista 64 machine, I get a message telling me I need the correct driver installed. This is probably a simple minded question, but does that mean I need an XP driver on the Vista machine, or a Vista 64 driver on the XP "server?" Whichever way, how and where do you install an "incorrect" driver on the appropriate machine? -- mldavis2

Since you are attempting to print on a Vista machine, that machine will need a Vista driver for the printer. DDW -- Reply via this group No email please
