Access printer installed under windows 7 64-bit from windows xp 32-bit

‎05-09-2012 07:27 AM

I have a CP1518ni attached via USB to a Windows 7 64-bit PC.  I'd like to use this printer to also print from another PC, a Windows XP 32-bit.  When I install a "network printer" on the XP machine, it says the driver is incorrect, probably because it is trying to pull a 64-bit driver over to the 32-bit PC.  I've tried downloading and installing the universal driver for XP on the XP machine, but it also says the driver is incorrect when I choose the CP1518 on the Windows 7 PC.  Can someone please point me towards a How-To article on this?  Or, must I attach the printer to my router in order for both machines to use it?

Welcome to the forums! Are you trying to set the printer up to be wireless or just share the printer from the 64 bit computer to the 32 bit computer? You can share the printer from the 64 bit computer across your network. Here is how to setup print sharing:

Hope this is what you are looking for!
