Vista Forums - View Single Post - Can I use a shared printer on XP with a local printer driver on Vista

11-08-2007

My XP PC's HP 3325's drivers don't include Vista drivers (which HP hasn't
updated since 2003) which (as I understand) get downloaded into the client
computer, in my case, Vista, when I mount this shared printer.
Since Vista already has a WHQL driver for 3325 included on disk, is it
somehow possible to use the local Vista driver rather than the downloaded
one?
