Printer on Vista can't be shared with XP

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I just replaced the system that was hosting my Canon printer. I was able to
share the printer but when I try to install the printer on my other Xp system
it tells me that the driver is not compatible and asks for the location of
the .inf file. I loaded the disk and told it where to get it and it keeps
failing. I've tried to add the xp driver to the vista system and it fails.

The printer is a Canon Pixma IP 6600D and I would like to be able to share
it with both systems.

Sorry if this has already been resolved, but i was unable to find the answer
through the threads
.
