Thanks for responding Todd ... however, sorry I'm so slow, but I'm afraid I just don't know what to do with the information that you provided. Is 'dnnsd' *with some modified variation of the //Brother... string example that you provided a command that I should use to get the other Linux laptops on my network to be able to print to my Brother HL-2270DW laser printer? I need a little more information and guidance on exactly what I need to do here.
