I am attempting to install a network printer on a Vista machine.
The machine is a colour postscript printer (FYI, a Vipcolor 8020 colour
laser label printer).
I can not seem to install the printer driver which was designed for XP.
The error message I get reads " Printer driver was not installed. Operation
could not be completed (error 0x00000002).
I can not work out whether this is a compatibility problem with Vista or
a network error. I can connect to the machine's internal web server.
FYI, I am connecting to a local port, new port, and typing in the address
bar '\\vp8020\print' which works fine on the XP machines and the driver .inf
is local on my vista machine.

You need to get a vista compatible driver. Check the vendors website or just
type your printer model and driver into google.
