x64 driver file for Brother HL-1430 printer

[Bill]

I have a Windows 7 HP (32 bit) desktop with a Brother HL-1430 printer

connected by USB.



I previously had a Vista HP (32 bit) laptop wirelessly networked and had no

problem accessing the printer via my Home network.



Recently I upgraded to a new laptop Windows 7 HP (x64).



When I try to install the printer on the new laptop the hl-1430 is

discovered OK, but I get an error 0x00000002 - Cannot connect.



When I go to the printer sharing tab on the desktop I am asked for a .inf

file to share on the x64 machine.



I assume this is a driver file, but where can I find this file? - Brother

site search yield nothing.
