New Windows Vista Machine Connecting to a USB Printer on an XP Mac

I have added a new Windows Vista Machine to a 3 computer network. The only
printer on the network is a USB printer connected to one of the XP machines.
The XP machines print fine. I can browse to the printer with no problems
from the Vista machine, but when I go to add the printer to the Vista
machine, the message says that the printer needs a driver. I click the
"install the driver" button, but it just hangs.

Does the driver have to be in a specific place, or what could be causing
this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
