Cheap Windows 7 windows 7 - Printer sharing proble

For a friend, I'm wanting to share a USB Canon pixma ip3000 printer amongst two computer systems in his property network. But I are not able to get it to operate due tot a Canon driver problem.

The printer is connected for the Windows seven (64 bit) personal computer,Windows 7 Home Basic Key, and we would like to be capable of print from a Windows XP pc. 'Normally' it ought to be no dilemma to utilize Windows printer sharing,Office 2010 Professional Plus, nonetheless,Office Professional 2007 Key Fry's Electronics Netbook Accessories,Windows 7 Professional 32 Bit, since 1 machine is 32-bit along with the other is 64-bit, putting in an additional driver is needed. T
he driver provided by canon (the following) is described being a 'Canon Inkjet Printer Driver Add-On Module'. The problem is the fact that the .inf file contained in the .exe file isn't accepted like a driver when prompted through the Printer Sharing Wizard, I suspect because it is an add-on driver (whatever which will be).

I've related and set up the printer locally on the XP machine initial (which works),Cheap Windows 7, in order that the XP machine would by now know the driver when employing it being a network printer,Office 2010 Professional 32 Bit, but that does not perform; the wizard even now desires a driver file.
