I was wondering if anyone know how to connect this printer to a laptop running vista x64. The host pc is running xp home. I've downloaded the correct driver, but everytime I try to install the driver, it ask for host pc name and shared printer name. I enter the correct info, (although the app says I'm not) but it will not let me proceed any further with the install.

Perhaps the driver doesn't support network printing. If the machine is saying "host pc name and shared printer name" are incorrect, it must be true.

Where (url) did you get the driver? Did it say that it supports network printing?
