Connecting to shared printer on XP

I am finding it impossible to connect a Vista laptop to a Lexmark Z600 series printer
on an XP desktop. File and printer sharing are enabled on both machines, the Windows
firewalls allow printer sharing, I have installed a Vista printer driver on the Vista
machine and can see the XP machine and the Lexmark printer from the Vista machine.
Importantly, I have used the "add printer" wizard on the Vista to use a local port
\\XP-MACHINE\Lexmark where XP-MACHINE is the XP computer name and Lexmark is the
shared printer name. I get no error messages except when trying to print something
when I then am told that there are problems communicating with the printer.
Any ideas?
