The WinNT has Deskjet 710C drivers for WinNT, not XP. The XP computer is
looking for drivers to install on the WinNT machine but they aren't the
right ones. When you go to add the printer on the XP box, don't have it
look for the drivers automatically on the remote computer. Instead,
have it look for drivers locally. The 710C is old and XP probably has
the drivers built in.
