    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-J6720DW WSD Driver only shows one tray

    I have a Brother MFC-J6720DW Printer which by default has two trays, one for A3 and one for A4.
    Windows installs a WSD driver for this printer, but the driver only lists one tray. How can I get the driver to recognize the second tray. I would prefer not to install the whole brother driver suite, but use the small footprint WSD driver.

    To utilize both trays and the Document Feeder plus the other features of this Multi Function Printer. (ie) Copy, Scan, FAX etc. you must install the full Brother printer driver suite Downloads | MFC-J6720DW | United States | Brother

    Brother MFC J825DW Printer is Offline


    Dangit, Microsoft has messed up my printers once again!

    My Brother MFC J825DW (Inkjet) printer won't print because Windows has set it to offline!

    My Brother MFC 7460DN (Laser) printer just trucks right along.

    Anybody know how I can get my Inkjet Brother back online?
