Share a Brother MFC 5100C from MacOS X to Windows 2000/Windows XP

Thanks to all that posted on this thread. I really thought this process would be much easier, maybe it is using Panther?

In any case, I combined the various tips on this thread to finally get my Win98 laptop to actually "see" the printer on the network (OS X 10.2.8), and then to print to it.

I was surprised that so much Terminal activity needed to be done to achieve this, but essentially I needed to do all of the Terminal hints in order to get everything working. The one other tip I may have is that I needed to change the browseable switch to yes in the printers section.

This combined with uncommenting the line to let the RAW driver to work were the final touches. Now my wife will be much happier but sadly, I will have to wait longer before we go all Mac.

Thanks
