Windows XP Printer Sharing to Windows 7

[tntcoder]

Hi,

Ive got a printer connected to and networked shared on a Windows XP box, and I need a Windows 7 PC to print to it.

The problem is, that when I added the printer to Windows 7 it auto chose the driver that the XP box provided, which wont work under windows 7....

I have updated the printer drivers on windows 7, and there is now a working driver for the printer on it, but I cant work out how to assign it to the network printer? In the printer properties on win7 the option to select the driver is disabled.

Is there anyway I can somehow add the win7 driver to the XP box? I tried under additional drivers, but it didnt have anything > XP.

So I guess I need a way to manually select which driver to use for an added network printer on windows 7 currently all those options are disabled.

Thanks for any help,

Jack

Thanks, when doing that, after entering the IP/Printer name it automatically just skips from 'detecting printer' to 'finishing installation'. No prompt to select drivers
