Trouble accessing hp officejet printer on home network (windows xp) from vista laptop. got error that driver could not be found on the server. solution

connect the printer to the laptop via usb cable
printer recognized and drivers loaded
follow the below to redirect the port. this fixed the problem.

Create a local printer, and then redirect the port to the network server. Follow these steps:

1. Create a local printer and, under Ports, add a new port.
2. Click Local Port, click New Port, and then type the server and printer name for the printer in \\ServerName\PrinterName syntax.
3. Use the new port for the local printer.
