If you have installed the HP 3325 on your Vista machine, uninstall it.
If it is showing up in the Printers folder as Automatic (from the XP
machine), delete it.
Then on Vista use the Add Printer wizard and at the appropriate time
click "Have Disk" to see the list of printers on your computer. Pick the
HP 3325 and continue with the installation.
