Trying to use 720 printer wireless

I have a 720 printer hooked up to my PC which has XP.  I am trying to use it with my inspiron 1505 wireless but I can't get it work.  I am connected through a router and the 1505 works fine but I can't share the printer.  I set up printer sharing on my PC and when I try to connect through the 1505 it says I need to download a driver but I can't find one for Vista

    The vista drivers are not available yet. Supposedly scheduled for Feb, but Dell is running out of time. This link never gets to any driver for the 720 although it says it does. http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/en/document?c=us&docid=26CA103B5061F32BE040A68F5B280C05&l=en&s=gen
    This link doesn't have a vista driver: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?

    The 720 works on my Vista computer without installing drivers. My Vista must have installed the generic printer driver and the printer works. It is connected to another computer on my home network. Try setting your printer up as a network printer Make sure the connected computer & printer are turned on. Your problem might be your network setup. Open the Network & Sharing Center on the Vista computer and set it up there.
    PS the 720 is really a cheap (free) printer and you should upgrade to a better model.
