| Vista Ultimate x64 | Using a XP SP3 network printer from Vista x64 Hello  This is my first post here  I've got an Epson Stylus 810 printer on my LAN. It's wired to a Windows XP SP3 computer and shared on the network. I can use this network printer from a laptop running Vista x86. I'd like to do the same thing from a computer running Vista x64... but it's not fair until now  The wizard sees the network printer but asks for a specified driver... that I can't find. Epson doesn't have a "dedicated" Vista x64 driver on its website. I've tried to wire (USB) the printer to the Vista x64 computer for test purpose... and Vista x64 automatically found a good driver and the printer locally worked !... I've checked, it was using the following driver : C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\usbprint.sys How can Vista x64 find a driver in the wired scenario and not in the LAN scenario ? Thx. |
