I finally got my samba and cups working to make my Brother DCP-7040 printer on Slackware box visible to XP. But, I cannot get the driver loaded on XP. I downloaded the 77MB driver file from Brother self extracted it. When I attempt to connect to the printer it says no driver and look for a .inf file. Well, the software downloaded form Brother has no .inf files.

What to do?
