Hope you don't mind if I piggy-back on this.
I have a similar problem but going the other way
I have a XP SP2 computer with a X1185 attached to it.
I have a Vista business comuter. Both are on a router and Vista can "see"
the XP in My Network. I can open the XP and see the printer, X1185.
I have added a network printer to the Vista "successfully". But when I
print to the network printer the spool file on the Vista shows it ready to
go, but the XP does not show it in the spool and nothing prints.
Any Ideas would be appreciated!!
