Yes. You need a Vista compatible driver for your printer installed in vista.
Check at the printer's manufacturer's website for one.
Vista found a driver for me when I connected to the XP's printer.
I went Start>Network>Network and Sharing>Add Network device>Browsed for XP's
printer, then Vista added the Driver.
