Windows7 access to printer shared with XP?

Windows7 access to printer shared with XP? I have an eeebox running with XP 24/7 with an attached printer (Canon IP5300) installed as shared. We have a few other laptops and PC, all with vista, that can access and print on the shared printer without problem.

"Attempt to use solution of
nik.

Please try on your VISTA machine:
Control Panel -> Printers -> Add a printer -> Add a local printer ->
Create a new port: Local Port ->
Enter a port name: \Your_XP_machine\Shared_Printer [REPLACE W/ YOUR INFO]
Pick appropriate driver from list provided by Vista [Lexmark 4800]

Its wery useful but unintuitive trick."
