Windows 10: Brother MFC-J895DW Color Inkjet All-In-One Multi-Function Center

My computer is not allowing the software to fully download.


The correct download is pulled from the Brother support page and the process is begun. The computer finds the machine and "Next" is clicked but then the following message occur ...

The installer has detected a connection problem between your computer and the Brother MFC/Printer. Would you like the installer to try and help you correct this problem by automatically applying some default settings recommended?

*These default settings will involve configuring a static IP address on the Brother MFC / Printer.

I click YES then this message occurs ...

An error occurred during the installation. Ensures all applications are closed, and restart your computer. Then reinstall the Brother machine’s software.

I click OK and then the setup stops and the windows are close. I do not have any other applications running when this occurs.


I have spoken with Brother and they say that the problem is with the computer. This computer is only 3 months old.


Despite this I am able to print, but the scanning function does not work.


Anybody have a solution?

:)

 

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?

Turn it off and turn it back on?

 

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
