Install the Vista drivers as the primary driver on the XP machine for use by
the XP machine. I believe you have done this and it failed?
If this fails you will need to bypass the Remote Procedure Calls (RPC)
functions by adding a local printer to the Vista machine and using the
Server service rather than RPC to transfer the print file to the XP machine.
On Vista with the CLP-510 driver installed, add a Local printer, Add a new
Local Port in the form \\XPMACHINE\PRINTSHARE (if you have spaces in the
share name rename the share). Select the driver Next , Next , Finish.
Print Test Page.
