Hello, I'd like to know if it's possible to copy my printer driver to another computer because I lost the installation CD and when I go to www.touslesdrivers.com, I can't install the driver they provide.
Thank you
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

    Hi, what's the brand and model of your printer please? What operating systems are your two PCs running?

      It's a Brother MFC 8420. My two computers are running Windows XP Pro, hoping this will help you.

        I found this:

        https://support.brother.com/g/b/producttop.aspx?c=fr&lang=fr&prod=mfc8420_eu

        Apparently, you should get the driver from "Driver & Software Package".

        If you haven't tried it already and in case this driver isn't the right one.

        Connect the printer to your second PC where you want to install it, and go to TLD, section "my drivers" to start the detection of your missing or present drivers.

        Okay, I will try this.
        When you go to Device Manager and look for where the driver is located, I get C:windows/system32/... I would like to know if it is possible to copy the file indicated at this address and copy it to the same location on the other computer?
        Thanks
