Error message when attempting to install print driver



I have a laptop with Windows Vista that suddenly lost ability to print on my
network printer, an Epson CCX4600 installed on a computer with Windows XP. A
message came up saying I would have to install the print driver, but when I
clicked on print driver, nothing happened. I deleted the printer and tried
to re-install a network printer. The print wizard can find the shared
network printer but when I select it I get a message that tells me I need to
install the printer driver on my computer. I click on Install driver and,
while connecting to printer on homepc, I get an error message stating Windows
cannot connect to printer. Operation could not be completed error
0x000003e3.

I have the print driver on disc but it will not allow me to install locally
- seems to think Vista is an earlier operating system than XP. I tried
installing a local printer on the Vista machine that targets a Local Port
with the name \\XPmachine\printershare (as suggested in another post) but
get the message network path not found.

Any help greatly appreciated.
