Windows 10: Acer Spin laptop running Windows 10 Home, Brother MFC J5620 .... All settings for portrait...

This problem started this past summer out of the blue?.

The printer is networked with a desktop PC running Windows 10 Pro and there are no problems with any of the desktop sourced printing. This occurs only for the laptop, regardless of document source: Word, Excel, Internet, PDF, etc. and was not a problem in the years using the laptop prior to the summer.

I have spent 3 or 4 hours reading and doing trial and error to try and fix this - no success

I have not downloaded any third party software or done anything from the command prompt

I have confirmed Windows 10 is updated
I have confirmed all the settings for the printer are portrait
I have uninstalled and re-installed the printer

I have set the printer to default it is the only physical printer

The document will show in portrait in the print preview


I can use Microsoft Print to PDF and the PDF views in portrait. When I send it to the printer, it prints in landscape

I have switched settings to landscape and it then prints in portrait.
I have returned all settings back to portrait - it prints landscape.

Windows 10 anf Brother Printer MFC-7360N

My old HP laptop gave out on me. I got a new HP laptop with Windows 10. Need to download drivers for Brother printer MFC-7360N. I follow the steps, but it doesn't complete download. Help!!

 

Brother MFC J6720DW listed with strange icon in Devices and Printers

I have reinstalled the drivers for my Brother MFC J6720DW and now the printer icon is listed in the unspecified category instead of the printer category. The printer is the "Device" icon to the right.





Right clicking on the icon shows the usual items for a printer (printing properties etc.), In addition it shows a "Browse Files" entry that lists the card reader of the printer.





To the left of the Brother printer icon there is another similar one that seems to be my USB card reader

 

Brother MFC-465CN Printer

I got the same problem with my Brother MFC-465CN driver, when window 10 updated this June 2020 the printer stop working, I tried to refresh the drivers but it does not want to load, I tried the certificate in the windows update but its only available for
Brother MFC-4650 for some reason MFC 465CN is not on the list. I found a way to re-install the original driver. My computer were pre-installed with Windows Vista originally so I did choose the vista driver update from Brother website and everything went back
to normal, it saves me money in buying a new printer. You have to uninstall any brother driver you have on your computer if you upgraded to windows 10 but you will be ask to remove it before installation begin.

NOTE: You have to choose the operating system originally installed in your computer for the MFC-465CN.

Goodluck!
