Windows 10: Brother MFC-7860DW not detected correctly via USB plug n play. "USB Printer Support" not...

Hello, When attempting to install this printer Brother MFC-7860DW on a Win11 PC neither windows install or Brother install routines work. In Windows install by Manufacturer and model number fails. Manual install completes but doesn't work. I think because there are no USB000# ports listed in the Select Port drop down menu and I tried an LPT1 and alternately a Com port. Installed on Win7 PC Device Manager shows a USB Composite device AND a USB Printer Support entry. On Win11 there is no USB Printer Support entry and a yellow fail triangle on the USB Composite device. All other devi

installation of driver for wireless connection of Brother MFC-7860DW in Windows 11

To the Microsoft community,

Does anyone know whether one can install the driver for wireLESS connection of the Brother MFC-7860DW device with Memory Integrity turned ON in Windows 10 or 11? To install the driver and software for USB connection of MFC-7860DW (one must choose either wired or wireless connection during the setup) onto my new PC with Windows 11, I had to turn OFF Memory Integrity due to incompatibility of the BrUsbSib.sys driver version 1.1.1.5 according to Windows. It appears that neither Microsoft nor Brother plans to release an updated BrUsbSib.sys driver compatible with Memory Integrity in Windows 10 or 11. The name of the BrUsbSib.sys driver suggests that it is used for USB connection, but I do not know whether that driver is also used for wireless connection. I would like to turn on Memory Integrity for enhanced security of the core processes of my PC, but cannot do so as long as the BrUsbSib.sys driver is installed. I am considering uninstalling the whole driver/software suite for USB connection of MFC-7860DW present in my PC, turning back on Memory Integrity, and then installing the driver/software suite for wireLESS connection of MFC-7860DW. The Brother website says that it has "support" for wireless connection of MFC-7860DW in Windows 11, but the driver/software suite for wireless connection of MFC-7860DW in Windows 10 or 11 recommended and offered by Brother was first released on January 16, 2013. so I am skeptical of Brother's statements.

Thank you,

TD

 

Printer Status is OFLINE Brother MFC 7860DW

My printer status keeps "defaulting" to OFFLINE. I have searched several threads and there are none that I could see that deal with Windows 10 Pro. In many of the threads there seems to some real dissatisfaction that the solutions offered are too complicated
for the average user to implement, I count myself in their company.

So, I appeal to the community for a solution to this problem. I use Windows 10 pro, the printer is a Brother MFC 7860DW.

Much appreciated

 

BROTHER MFC-7860DW not recognized after Windows 10 update

About 6-12 months ago Window 10 did another update. After the update I could not use my Brother MFC 7860DW printer. I went to Microsoft site and downloaded the most recent full driver set, but for some reason my HP Envy does not show my Brother printer.
It is extremely frustrating, have a lot of work to print off and won't even recognize and print even with USB cable connected.

1. need quick solution
