dir \\computer\printshare is an invalid command.
Thanks for the driver name. HP has a binary that checks the OS version.
The binary only works on Server 2003 and less OS version numbers. This
binary will terminate when run in Vista. Since the file is loaded with the
driver, the terminating code causes the spooler to fail on Vista. Check the
version number of hpbmini.dll on you XP machine
\windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3. The version number should be 18
or greater to work on Vista.
