Hi :-),
Can some one please walk me through connecting to an Epson Stylus
Photo 1280 that is on a 32bit Windows XP Pro Service Pak 3 machine from
a x64 Vista Ultimate Machine. They are networked fine and I can see the
printer on the other machine but it says the wrong drivers are installed
when I try to connect. I have hooked the printer up directly to the
Vista machine and it installed the drivers and printed fine while
attached. I just don't know how to connect it as a network printer.
Thanks for any help with this :-)!
Best regards Melissa Rose

You get the drivers for Vista 64 bit and install them on the Vista PC, then
connect to the XP PC, add the printer as a network printer, and when it asks
for drivers, point it to wherever you installed them on the Vista PC.
