Vista Laptop printing on existing XP Home network printer

by pmorris . Updated 14 years, 10 months ago

I have read several posts which are similar but not exactly my problem.

I have a new Vista laptop which can see the Dell Destktop and it’s attached Canon iP6600D. When I try to attach to the printer via the network (WiFi) I get a message telling me that I need to install the printer driver but when I click “Insall” the laptop just hangs up.

I havge attached the printer directly and allowed the laptop to install the Vista print driver – this then works fine locally.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Phil
