Epson printer is connected through usb on xp PC. Win7 can see printer from xp machine and trys to get drivers from xp machine, no win7 drivers on that machine so thats a no go.So I connect printer to win7 machine, no problem win7 installs drivers and all works.Next reconnect printer to xp machine.In theroy all I need to do is get into the printer properties on win7 machine and chage the port from local to a USB virtualport and point it to the xp machine. Atleast that what it looks like when connected with two xp machines.I cannot change the standered usb port settings through the print properties port configure. If I try and make a new usb virtualport it asks for a driver.So what driver would I point it to and where is it?Or could I install printer as network printer and point tothe local driver in win7 machine, where would that driver be and which one?Note: I am connecting machines via workgroup and not win7 homegroup.

I found this and method worked greathttp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itpronetworking/thread/b1b960b5-a05e-4501-bc4a-3f21475400de
