No problem.  If that Brother 1240 is a b/w laser, you're going to need 
to setup apsfilter first.  Then just make that printer accessible from 
the rest of the network.  The other thing you *could* do is purchase a 
network print server.  I got one off eBay for about $40 from Zero One 
Technologies 01tech.com (that's a zero-one).  A little difficult to 
setup at first, but works great!
