    manually select printer driver

    How do I install a network printer on Vista and manually select the driver?

    We have an XP box that shares an Oki C9300. When I select add new printer,
    the wizard connects to the printer and (I assume) grabs the xp driver and
    the installation crashes.

    0x000006be -- restart print spooler

    Thanks,
    Todd
