Hi,

I have a Brother MFC7820N on a workgroup. There are only 3 PC's (XP
Pro)  on the workgroup but each PC has about 4 users on it.

I installed the printer driver ok on each PC as Administrator, but
whats annoying is, it doesnt seem to have installed for the other
users on each PC.

Its a right pain if I have to install for each user. It shows up on
each PC for each user, but it doesnt actually print and when I looked
closer at it, I see for the users the port is set to LPT1 rather then
some netork port.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

A lot of software when you install it asks "Do you want to install for
all users of this PC" but this driver never did.

Hope someone can help.

Cheers

-Al
