I've got a Brother Fax-8360P printer that has a standard printer port so it can be connected to my WindowsXP machine. I've found some drivers on the net that work and it is a pretty decent laser printer.

However, when I try and connect up to it from my Vista machine over the network, it tells me that "The printer driver is not compatible with a policy enabled on your computer that blocks NT4.0 drivers".

Main question - is it possible to alter this so that my Vista machine will allow me to print via the network.

Secondary question - does anyone know of any generic driver that will work instead?
