OK. You have to install the printer a different way. The following was found an a MS site. They say it really can be done.

Cannot connect to network printer from Windows 7 computer
I have installed Windows 7 (64-bit).. on my computer, and now I cannot connect to the printer on the Vista machine.... (32 bit)

The answer is nto create a new nport for the printer. See link above for detaled instructions.  Read carefully. Let us know.
