I read all questions and answers, but no one have the same problem as I do:
MY printer connected to XP is not usable by vista, because vista driver for that printer (Samsung) is different from xp driver, I can not load the vista driver in the laptop because the printer is not hooked to the laptop, and the pcs with XP reject the driver, (not recognized by windows). Derek |

When the install asks you to plug in the printer, click next. It will then
prompt you to say that the printer is not connected. On this dialog you need to click No in order to continue. This will then install the drivers using a file for output. After the install finishes, go to Control Panel | Network and Sharing Center. Make sure that Printer Sharing is turned on. Then go to Control Panel | Printers | Add a printer and add a network printer. The shared printer should show up in a list and you should be able to continue with your install. After it is finished you can delete the entry for the Samsung printer that outputs to a file.
