printer no go on 3.95
I just purchased a new computer ( hp2600+ ) w/windows xp
installed at the store ( best buy ). When I tried to install my old printer ( brother mfc 7160c )I was informed that it won't work w/windowsnt3.95 but it will work w/windowsnt4.0. shouldn't the newest version have been installed? Do I need to install 4.0 myself? Can I download it? HELP! Thanks, Joe. |

In any event, look he http://www.brother.com/E-ftp/windowsxp/us.html (If you really have NT, see http://www.brother.com/E-ftp/info/mfc/mfc7160c.html) -- p |

No you don't need to install Windows NT 4.0! BTW think of XP as NT 5.0!
Go to the Brother website at http://www.brother.com/E-ftp/info/mfc/mfc7160c.html and download and install the new drivers as per their instructions. Everything you need is already built into XP: http://www.brother.com/E-ftp/windows...mfc-7160c.html Cari www.coribright.com "Joseph Muessen" wrote in message ...

When WXP (NT5) does not pick up an older printer and there are no XP compatable drivers on the Brothers site. you just may be SOL. This recently happend with my mothers machine which I upgraded considerably. I just went and bought her a new Canon USB printer for $40. -- Tampa Bay |
