Vista - Remote Printer Problem

I have a Samsung CLP-550 attached to an XP MCE machine and it works properly.
When I attempt to access it from another machine that is running Vista
Premium, it doesn't show on the list of printers. I then;
Open Control Panel->Printers
Add a Network Printer. This shows the SamsungColor on SRV (its shared)
When I try to add it, I'm told to install the printer driver
I accept UAC and the install attempts to connect to the remote printer
I get a dialog saying that it it Connecting to.. then,
I get an error that "Windows cannot connect to the printer. There is not
enough memory to complete this operation. Close programs and try again."

I suspect the message is bogus since the Vista machine has 2gb of memory and
the XP machine has 1gb available.

Any help would be appreciated.

Install them on your Vista machine. Now do the Add/Printer routine.

Since you see the printer when you go through the Add Printer wizard, I
assume that you have properly set up file/printer sharing between the XP
MCE and Vista machines. If you are uncertain about this, review the
information at this link:

I did as you instructed and downloaded the file
20070128170053390_CLP-550_GDI_Vista.exe from the site. When I installed it,
it created a local printer on the Vista machine. I removed that one and
tried to install the remote printer. It failed in the same was as originally.

BTW, I think I already had the driver installed because the install program
said it was repairing it.
