    Brother J415W Printer


    Ever since the last 2 windows updates I can't print anything. I have my printer connected wirelessly. Brother has not updated their driver software since 2013. Is there a way I can still use my printer since I really don't want to have to buy a new printer that will out of date in 2 - 3 years. this has been a great printer since I bought in 2013. Thank you for any advice anyone can help me with.

    :)

    Can't Access networked Brother Laser printer- To print or use Web I/f


    Not all Printer drivers are included in the installation media. Even mine (Brother HL-4040CN), you would need to manually add it to the list:

    1. Control Panel->Devices and Printers->Add a Printer
    2. Follow the steps to set up a network printer. At one point, Windows will search for available printer, click on "The printer that I want isn't listed"
    3. Click on "Windows Updates". Windows will start downloading a complete list of Printers.
    4. Select your printer name & model then install.

    EDIT: Just tried to install as a USB printer for MFC-7820N since I don't have this printer to set up as a network printer. The result as shown in the list after clicking on "Windows Update":

    Windows 10 Update has an update for my Brother Printer that fails to install

    Printer is working . Scanner is working. Just this update keeps hanging on. Would like to remove this update from the que. Any Ideas

    I have other computers using this same printer or other locations with same model. Only one computer has this issue.

    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
