Error message 0x000003e3

I have a base computer in my network that is attached to a Brother MFC-7420
printer, but now I'm trying to add a laptop to network so that I can share
the printer. When I try to add the printer, I have to do it manually by
browsing and finding the printer icon in my base computer. When I connect to
it, it tells me I must download a driver but when I tell it to download the
driver I get an error message 0x000003e3.

How can I share this printer?

Thanks.

E:\>winerror 0x000003e3
995 ERROR_OPERATION_ABORTED <--> 0xc0000120 STATUS_CANCELLED


Are both computer x86 (32bit) with Vista installed?

Yes, Alan. The main computer uses Vista Home Basic and the new laptop uses
Vista Home Premium.

Thanks.

Are you using the driver from Vista?

"Brother MFC-7420 USB"

I've seen that error previously when I messed up the registry on the server
machine but that was x86 drivers on an x64 server
