Connecting to printer on XP computer from Vista computer
My home network has two USB printers on a desktop running XP Pro. From a
laptop running XP Pro, I can connect and print to either of these printers. From another laptop running 64-bit Vista Home Premium, I get an error message when I try to connect to these printers: "The server for the 'Dell Laser MFP 1815' printer does not have the correct printer driver installed. If you want to search for the proper driver, click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel and contact your network administrator or OEM for correct printer driver." So here's my question: In order to print from my Vista laptop to the printers connected to my XP desktop, what driver do I need (XP 32-bit, Vista 32-bit, or Vista 64-bit) to install and where do I install it (XP desktop where printer is, or Vista laptop from where I want to connect)? Thanks for any help you can offer. Duane

You need to locate a Dell 64-bit driver AND put it on your 64-bit machine when it asks for a driver. GP

Connecting to printer on XP computer from Vista computer
Sorry, Bob. My newsreader didn't show your response for some reason
until I refreshed it several times. GP --- You need 64-bit driver. The best way to do it is adding the printer as local printer first and then remapping it as network printer. Or this search result may help. Vista Print IssuesMay 27, 2007 ... Access is denied when setup network printer in Vista ... Many Vista printer issues are solved by installing the printer as a Local Printer ... www.chicagotech.net/vista/vistaprint.htm
