One of the steps in the instructions for installing the driver for a
Brother MFC-7820N printer says "For Mac OS 1-.2.4 users, Open Print
Center icon". However, with Leopard I can not find the the Print
Center icon. Hence, my question is what replaces Print Center in
Leopard? I installed the driver for the MFC-7820N printer but
MFC-7820N does not appear in the list of available printers. Any
other suggestion for getting Leopard to recognize my printer?

I'm not currently using one of my machines that has Leopard installed,
but I believe you can either go to a print dialog box, or the "Print
and Fax" system preference.

Yes, you are right. After I posted my message I went to the Brother
Web-Site to see if there was a driver update for the Brother MFC-7820N
for Leopard. The Brother Web-Site said an updated driver for a
MFC-7820N was include with Leopard and provided instructions for
getting Leopard to add the MFC-7820N to the list of available
printers. But here is the red face part. The power plug for my printer
had became partially unpluged. Once I completely pluged in my
printer and followed the updated instructions I was able to print the
"Boot Camp Setup and Installation Guide" with My MFC-7820N printer.
Three cheers to Brother they make it very easy to find driver
information for printers on their Web-Site.

It is now in the System Preferences > Print and Fax.

I like that change. It always made more sense to me for print setup to be
soley in System Preferences.
