re: Network Printer Friday, October 28, 2005 at 5:12 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by michshelly (113 messages posted) Hi Malcolm Thanks for that. I have a brother MFC410CN. It has LAN options. It's all auto. I do not have a static ip address though. I can print to it from one pc. I want to learn how to configure it properly - but it's such a pain.
