I posted a folllow-up at a mirror site but it never appeared here. Her
it is for completeness
Never mind- it does work- In my case I have a Windows Vista 64 lapto
o
a wireless network, and a Windows XP desktop serving as a printe
server, wired to the MFC-8300. Things that help to know
-The only way to get the driver installed on the laptop is to use th
USB connection and choose the Brother replacement Vista driver linke
i
the PDF cited earlier on this thread
- The only way to get the Vista laptop working with the XP printe
server is to install the replacement XP driver on the desktop (at th
desktop)
-After you install the USB ported driver on the Vista laptop computer
and the XP driver on the printer server desktop, you ahve to go back t
the Vista 64 and add the network printer. It should work at that point
Vastly relieved that I don't have to buy a new printer just for m
Vista 64 laptop. Hope this helps some other people..
-----Now, where can I find an MFC-8300 driver for Windows 7? Will th
Vista driver work? I don't want to upgrade Windows if it will make th
printer not work
