Connecting to an XP PC printer to a Vista..

Before making this thread I searched and tried everything since last night.. I finally gave up. As you can see I'm trying to connect my Vista x64 laptop to a shared printer on my network which is running on an XP machine. I can see the PC and printer but when I hit select, it fails to connect to it because it keeps telling me wrong drivers installed or something and it tells me to search for them. What I did after wards was connect the printer locally to my laptop to install the drivers needed for Vista. No luck when trying to connect to it again wireless. Same error message.

Any help? I'm new to Vista..

Printer: Brother MFC-7420 (it's already on shared)
