If that Brother 1240 is a b/w laser, you're going to need to setup apsfilter first. Then just make that printer accessible from the rest of the network. The other thing you *could* do is purchase a network print server. I got one off eBay for about $40 from Zero One Technologies 01tech.com (that's a zero-one). A little difficult to setup at first, but works great! HTH _______________________________________________________ Eric F Crist "I am so smart, S.M.R.T!"
