I appreciate your response.
My Deskjet 722c uses just the parallel port. It has no USB interface.
I see from the system error logs that the error created by the print issue
looks to be error 6161.

I went looking for an X53 Vista driver for that printer, and everywhere I
went, I was told that both XP and Vista has the drivers, and I don't need to
add anything. Where do I go to get X64 Vista drivers for my XP machine so
that I can print on the LAN?
Why won't the dorectly-connected devices print a document?
