Vista x64 - XP 32bit sharing printer

I have Vista Ultimate x64 as my main rig and have a Lexmark z645 printer connected through usb. I am sharing the printer with my roomates XP 32bit machine. Prior to upgrading to Vista (I had XP 32bit before,) printer sharing worked.

I have installed the x64 and x32 bit drivers from Lexmark onto my Vista machine. I have the proper drivers installed on the XP machine. The two computers can communicate with each other. I've added the networked printer onto the XP machine and can send jobs to the printer.

At this point, the jobs will show up in the printer properties on Vista. However, nothing prints. I've tried editing the Group Policys to enable print spooling from client computers, but still nothing.

Is there some fancy trick I'm missing to get the printer working with x64 vista and x32 Xp? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
