Printer Sharing in Vista

26-06-2008, 02:54 PM

I have an Epson Photo R300 printer connected to a desktop running WinXP and
shared on the home network. I have a Vista Home Premium laptop on the home
network and want to use the shared printer. I have gone through the add
printer wizard, selected the Epson printer from the list of printers on the
network, and clicked to install the driver. At this point the wizard stops
responding, and the printer is not added to the Vista laptop.

Any suggestions?
