I have a printer connected to my computer that I'd like to share on my home network - shouldn't be a problem.

The computer the printer is connected to is running Vista Ultimate x64. The computers I'm trying to share with are x86 Windows XP Professional and x86 Vista, so I need to install additional (x86) drivers.

Share the printer

I checked the box to add x86 printer drivers and then it asked for the location of the drivers. I browsed to the location and clicked OK.

Add additional drivers

It then prompted "Please provide path to Windows media (x86 processor).

Locate ntprint.inf

When I click "Browse..." it wants the location of a file named ntprint.inf

It looks like it's asking for a Windows (x86) installation disk. I put one in but I can't seem to find this file on the 32-bit Vista install disk

Where is the proper place to find this file?
