Home Forums Discussions General Discussion Anyone using Brother MFC 8890DW on Win Server 2008

I was just trying to help since he said the software would not run on Windows 2008 sorry.

No need to be sorry. I apologize if you misunderstood. This is what happens when threads get hijacked and turn into Adobe rather than the Brother.

The problem is not so much that the software won't run on 2008, but that it won't even use the server for a path if I am reading all this correctly.

It seems that 64-bit OS have a Program Files for 64-bit and x86 programs.

This is for Vista 64-bit, but it probably applies.

I have seen the Brother with Paperport in action once. It just seems to matter what one does, it just isn't compatible with networking directly to servers. I have no idea why. Just another fun debate about Brother MFPs.

But, trying to run it in XP compatibility mode isn't a bad idea. But, my guess is it won't even install.

Apology accepted.

I forgot about the term WOW64 or Windows on Windows 64-bit.

If you look at the compatibility for Paperport, there are issues with one of the v11. I couldn't find v12 there. I would call them directly and see what driver issues or other problems they have.
