Answer:
Go in the Vista computer, right click on the printer and select sharing. Give it a name so that you can easily recognize it on the XP. Now, go in the XP computer, select the ADD Printer Wizard and when it asks you what type of printer, select Network printer. It will present you with a menu to scroll down and you should see the printer you just shared. You might have to install the original CD for that particular printer in which case, you do it. Normally, it should connect as soon as you click on the shared printer. It might take 1 minute but should connect flawlessly :-)
