I can go through the add printer wizard, get the error that the 'server' has not got the correct driver installed. Windows XP 32bit (Embedded) machine that I needed to access the DCP-330cįlat layer 2 network across the office, all going into one switchįrom the XP machine I can see the shared printer on the W7 machine, just like you. Windows 7 64bit machine with Brother DCP-330c USB printer installed Hey asafd, I found this thread when googling in desperation on the same problem. Is it at all possible to print from windows XP to a printer connected to windows 7 over a home network?ĭownload the Brother printer MFC-215C 圆4 for Windows 7 Note that this printer used to be installed and working on an XP machine (and the drivers were installed from the CD i used here)
I also tried to install the driver directly on the XP machine via the "add printer" wizard, but the result again is the same. I downloaded the XP 32-bit drivers from brother's support site and tried to use them, but they seem to be identical to those on the CD and the installation fails just the same. "the specified location does not contain the driver Brother MFC-215C USB for the requested processor architecture". Then i click OK, and this message is given: I browse to the printer installation CD to F:\ENG\WXP\USB (where the files brimb3e1.inf & brprb3e1.inf are present).
Here) and try to add the x86 architecture. The problem: on windows 7, i click on "Additional Drivers" in the printer properties (as described Sharing is enabled on the printer and both computers can see each other's shared files. I have a laptop with XP (home ed, SP3) which is on the same home network as the windows 7 and i try to print to the printer from it. I have windows 7 desktop (enterprise ed) which is connected to a brother usb printer MFC-215C which works fine. In a nutshell: i am trying to print over a home network from windows XP PC to a printer which is physically connected to a windows 7 PC.
