Postscript printer driver error


I am attempting to install a network printer on a Vista machine.
The machine is a colour postscript printer (FYI, a Vipcolor 8020 colour
laser label printer).
I can not seem to install the printer driver which was designed for XP.
The error message I get reads " Printer driver was not installed. Operation
could not be completed (error 0x00000002).
I can not work out whether this is a compatibility problem with Vista or
a network error. I can connect to the machine's internal web server.
FYI, I am connecting to a local port, new port, and typing in the address
bar '\\vp8020\print' which works fine on the XP machines and the driver .inf
is local on my vista machine.

RE: Postscript printer driver error

You need to get a vista compatible driver. Check the vendors website or just
type your printer model and driver into google.
