Windows 10: Brother MFC240 Printer and Windows Update

After a Windows 10 update today KF4023057 my Brother MFC240 Printer "is not talking" to my computer. I can make copies, but can't print from my computer. Printing function worked with the computer yesterday. Anyone else have this issue after the Windows update? This happened a few years ago.I know my printer is old, but this Brother works like a charm as long as Windows updates don't affect the printer-computer interface.Any suggestions? I am not going to buy a new printer.Thanks!

Brother Printer exists & works, but won't "Install" - Why?

Check whether I understood you well.
First try: Add new printer, Windows finds printer and loads its own drivers/programme automatically. It wprks but not with the Brother drivers.
Second try: Brother package: failed
I suggest a third try: Add new printer; the printer that I wanted is not listed; continue and see of your model is listed. in the list of printers.
I had difficulties with setting up another Brother printer, and the third try solved it.

 

Who makes a good inkjet printer?

I use a brother MFC240 and I love it. I have had it for years and its quite and reliable! Only issue is that its not a network printer unless shared by a windows PC

 

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":
