Hello...
I am at work here with a Brother printer which formerly printed documents
from home.
Becuase of recent HD failure on former work XP laptop, I now have a work
Vista laptop
I have an XP desktop at home.
Here at work, I cannot print any items from home.

After reading some posts here on the forum, it seemed like I needed the
complete driver from Brother.
I have gone onto Brother printer site and download Full Driver & Software
Package for HL2030/Vista system
Download complete/installed/runs and prints.
I also d/l the vista driver for the xp destop and tried to run it, says it
wont install because of wrong operating software.
I have plowed through every way I can think of to get my Xp file from home
to print here. When looking at my home desktop thru remote; all i see is
the Printer Queue waiting to print.
I don't know what to do next, seems like a marriage of Vista/XP working
together....ain't workin.
Now do I go buy another printer and if so will this same thing happen again?
hope someone can see something im missing
with warm greetings
Joey
