Printer Sharing on Vista 64 bit machine

I have 4 computers connected to a Belkin N1 F5D8631-4 ver 201-1uk wireles ADSL Modem Router.
The Printer which is an Epson R200, is connected to a Vista 64bit Ultimate version, I am using Network Magic to assist in viewing the network and also connecting computer sharing.
The other 3 machines use Windows XP 32bit Pro and the problem is I cannot get the XP machine to share the printer which is on the Vista machine, it can be viewed on Network magic, Network Map although the printer does have a Yellow triangle with asterisk in it when viewed from the XP machine.

The files/folders can be shared on all machines.

On setting the Printer sharing on the Vista machine I then go to the XP machine to finish the sharing but when it asks me for the INF file and I put in the CD I got with the printer, it tells me that the files are not available, I am not sure if the problem is due to Windows Vista printer drivers being required, but they are not available on the Epson web site, as the drivers where installed automatically when install Vista and connecting Printer.

I have looked on the Vista DVD for drivers but cannot identify where any drivers could be.

Would be very grateful for any help.

Regards John

You probably have to explore the printer CD and find the folder with the XP 32 bit drivers - and point the wizard to that folder when it asks for the .inf file.
