Default NLocal Printer vista and XP sharing

i have my printer connected to my PC, it is an XP computer. I want to allow
my other PC to share the printer. It is a newer Vista (operating sys) PC.
When I go to 'sharing' it asks for additional drivers, if different from main
PC. It doesn't list the new Vista operating system. What do I do? The PC's
are in different rooms and I want the printer to be close to the XP PC.

Providing the printer does indeed have Vista drivers (from the printer
manufacturer's website) you can use
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/net.../vista_fp.mspx
as the instructions to work through to share the printer from the XP PC to
the Vista PC.
