Vista - Brother MFC 9050 will not work on Vista - HELP

06-15-2008

Hi, I have got a new PC after my old one is getting tired. Problem is the new
one is Vista not XP and after resolving several issues I am now stuck one one
final hurdle. I have a Brother MFC 9050 connected up and Vista can not find
the driver, when I install the disk drivers it stalls and when I check
Brother sites it suggests the printer is Vista compatible.....

Can any one help me to just get the printer "printing" ???

Cheers, Loz

Is the driver listed on the manufacture / model page of the Add Printer
Wizard? Just pick the first USB port to get to the list of drivers that
ship with the OS.
