Cannot connect to XP Printer from Vista Home Basic

[CoreTin]

Presently am having Windows XP and Windows Vista connected to a same network. Both are able to share files and folders without any problem. I also have connected Samsung ML-1210 printer with my XP. Now though Vista able to access shared files on Windows XP, it is not able to access the Printer on XP. Whenever I try accessing printer from Vista, I get the following error:

“Windows cannot connect to the printer. There is not enough memory to complete the application. Please close some programs and try again."

As it is talking about memory, I closed all applications on my both systems and tried accessing, still the same error. I checked the settings again on vista, Printer sharing is enabled, it is set to Private network, and even workgroup on both systems are same. Any idea what still Vista is not able to access the printer? Any help?

Do you have printer drivers installed on your Vista computer as well? If not, its not gonna work. Printing system in Vista is actually completely different then XP. When you connect to the printer on the XP machine, it tries to install incompatible XP drivers which you can also install locally. But you will need to download the printer drivers form its manufacturers website before you can use it.

Thank you very much for your help Patton, really appreciated. As you instructed, I download the drivers and installed and loaded the printer on Vista. But can you please tell me how do I configure the port to the XP desktop?
