Can't fax from networked laptop

Aug 13, 2010 12:42PM PDT

I recently switched from XP to Windows 7 on all new computers. I have a tower and a Sony Vaio. I have downloaded the updated printer driver on the tower for my Brother MFC-8660DN and everything works great for faxing and printing. The tower is my main computer. The Sony Vaio is set up on the home network. It does not have the new driver program loaded into it, but shows the printer on my tower. The Sony will print documents, but it will not allow me to scan (as in Adobe Acrobat 9). Do I need to download the driver program into the Sony?
