Vista - Shared Network Printer--Can't Connect

I have Vista Ultimate on a Win2000 domain. The printer (hp deskjet 940c) is
connected to a WinXP Pro box.

When I try to connect to it, it asks me to install the drivers. When I try
to install, it comes back with a message; "Windows cannot connect to the
printer. The specified print monitor is unknown."

Any suggesstions would be appreciated!

It appears you've disabled UAC. Reenable it and you'll be able to install
the printer.

I have a similar problem with a HP 970CXi connected to my Vista 32 OS. I
enabled UAC and that didn't make any difference. Any other suggestions?
