Install Additional Printer Drivers (x86) on Vista (x64) - Can't find suitable (x86) ntprint.inf

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.


Printer sharing


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?
