Let me assume you are having the same problem I had:1. An old printer connected to an "older" machine (XP, Win2000) with so called NT4.0 (kernel mode) driver2. Want to provide it to a Vista machine as a network printerPlease try on your VISTA machine:Control Panel -> Printers -> Add a printer -> Add a local printer ->Create a new port: Local Port ->Enter a port name: \\Your_XP_machine\Shared_Printer <<REPLACE W/ YOUR INFO>>Pick appropriate driver from list provided by Vista <<Lexmark 4800>>Hope this works for you.

Followed the instructions...worked great...I have an XP machine with an HP Laserjet 4 Plus which is shared. My vista machine was the one on the network which would display the "blocked NT4 driver". This way we get to use an installed driver on the Vista machine to print to the network shared printer...Alex...You made it too easy...Thanx much.

Alex W_ Very simple but very effective. But why, oh why, don't Microsoft have a simple KB article like this? Works like a dream MS would have you searching for drivers etc etc Thanks
