Help with Printer / Vista and XP
Hello
I have Windows Vista 64 bit (and I am regretting the 64 bit part) and an Epson RX620. How on earth do I get my other (32-bit XP) computers to use the printer attached to the Vista machine?
If I go to the printer, and try to install an extra driver I can't (as the Epson drivers want to to install a whole suite of programs and there is no .INF that works).
Please help ...
Thanks.
Steve

used to have this problem in Uni with NT computers and XP computers, what I used to do was install the printer locally on the machine A. Then plug the printer into the machine you want it in (machine B). Then redirect the port on machine A pointing to the other computer. Not ideal but it worked
