Shared Printer XP to Vista

I am running Vista Enterprise in a small workgroup along with XP machines.
Everything works great with file sharing both ways. However, I cannot
install the LaserJet 1320 shared on the XP machine on my Vista machine. I go
to Printers in Control Panel and click on Add Printer. I then click Add a
network ... printer and Vista finds the printer on the XP machine. I click
Next and after a few seconds I get a dialog box stating "The server for the
'hp LaserJet 1320 PCL 6' printer does not have the correct printer driver
installed." I click OK and get another dialog box entitled "File needed:
Printer Driver INF for the hp LaserJet 1320 PCL 6". I have tried to find
this INF in C:\Windows\inf and several other places. Nothing has worked. HP
says that the driver for this printer is built into Windows Vista and there
is not one available on their site. In previous installs of Vista, I have
had this same printer running fine when attached to the Vista machine, so I
know the drivers are somewhere.

Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
 
THANKS for your post. My problem was getting the Vista Machine to see the
printers at all.....your post provided the clue that got me fixed......." I
