Having managed to negotiate my way round the nightmare settings to get my printer visible on our home network in Vista, I can't get the printer to install on the other machines (All on XP- Pro) as it says there is no driver for that printer.

We're using a Lexmark C522 on the Vista machine which works with the x64 drivers w/o problems. I tried the universal drivers on the XP machines but can't get it to work :mad:

Any help would be greatfully received..

TIA

You need to install the additional drivers.
Click on Start.
Click on printers.
Right click your printer and select properties.
Click on the sharing tab.
Click on change sharing options -->continue.
Click on additional drivers.
If you have 64bit or 32 bit xp will determin your next choice.
Tell vista where to find the drivers on the cd.

Thanks for the above info. I tried it but without success. It says that the drivers do not support the processors architecture. :cry:

Am at a loss!!
