Can't connect to network printer but Vista has drivers.

Hi,

I'm a little frustrated, I just upgraded my workstation to Vista Ultimate
64bit and tried to connect to my Brother MFC-6800 which is on my Windows Home
Server. I tried to browse to the printer and connect and the system adds the
printer but has an error that the driver for that printer are not available.

I went to Brothers site and they say the drivers should be available in
Vista. Sure enough, if I manually install the printer or connect it directly
to the Vista workstation via USB, and it loads the MFC-6800 driver.

Is there a way to redirect the port from the USB to the server like in XP? I
don't see port even though the pinter is there.

Please help.

Thanks
