    Installing Generic drivers for Brother HL 5070-N printer


    I have an old Brother printer - an HL 5070-N and I recently bought a new computer. In trying to install the printer, I see that my model is missing from the very long list of Brother products provided by the 'Windows Update' during the installation process. I searched the Brother site and they are adamant that Microsoft provides a generic printer driver which will operate this machine, and I looked on my old machine which was also Windows 10 to see what driver was used - it is a Microsoft product called "printqueue.inf" version 10.0.17763.1 but this product isn't listed with any of the other drivers that I can see during the installation process. There doesn't seem to be a way to search for a specific driver by name - does anybody know the best way to get this thing running?

    Windows update fails to install Brother HL-2140 printer driver

    The printer works fine but Windows 10 is adamant about installing a driver update and fails every time.

    Relevant event viewer entry:

    Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246013: Brother driver update for Brother HL-2140.

    Not sure how to proceed. ETA from Brother site regarding a Windows 10 driver is late Decemeber...

    Installing Generic drivers for Brother HL 5070-N printer

    cant find driver for laserprinter brother HL-1230

    Hello. I'm having printer issues as well after upgrading to Windows 10. My Brother HL-1230 printer is no longer is listed as a printer. I've gone to the Brother's website to download the printer driver, but it says it's included with Windows 10. I've
    already tried following their instructions several times, and the printer doesn't detect.

    The printer was working perfectly prior to the update, and now I no longer have a printer to use.

    Any other suggestions on how to resolve?
