Default Network Printing

I have set up all my printers on the Vista Ultimate 64 bit network All
printers are listed as network printers and available. I have a laptop
running xp pro 32. Have download the relevant update to allow the laptop to
be seen on network, Vista sees it and all is ok with that but i cannot get
the laptop to see the printers on the network even though it can see it. Any
advise anyone would be appreciated.

Thanks

Default Network Printing

The print server needs drivers for any OS that might use it. So I know
nothing of x64 (because I want things that work) but this is how printing
normally works. So I woiuld guess you need to install XP 32 bit printer
drivers onto the x64 (for 32 bit XP OS to download from and use).
