I've seen quite a few posts about this problem. Here is the solution that worked for me:

Go to your control panel.
Select Add Printer.
When it asks you if you want to add a Local or Network Printer, believe it or not, choose local.
Click the "Create a New Port" button, hit next.
Then in the box that pops up, enter the printer path (example: \\COMPUTERNAME\PRINTERNAME)
Click OK.
Search for your printer manufacturer and model, then install.
Worked for me like a charm. Windows Vista at its best.
