    My Brother HL-1270N quit printing via UAB on my primary PC running Win10. I have two other computers that run Win 10 and both can still print via USB using the same printer driver and the same USB cable. I've deleted and reloaded the printer in settings many times and still no printing. When I try to print a test page the printer que window display that a test page is sent and stays in the que and doesn't print. The status column shows "spooling" for a brief instant than goes blank.


    I suspect something to do with Win10 version or updates and have searched this forum and only find entries from mid 2020 that don't seem to apply to my Win10 version:


    Edition Windows 10 Home

    Version 20H2

    Installed on ‎11/‎19/‎2020

    OS build 19042.685

    Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0


    On one of the other computers that still can print I have:


    Windows 10 Home

    1709

    16299.15


    on the other I have:


    Windows 10 Home

    2004

    11/10/2020

    19041.685

    Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0


    How can I fix the primary computer to print via USB again?

    :)

    Windows 10 Home Won't Print to Remote Printer


    I have three computers.
    Machine 1: Windows 10 pro, has the USB Brother HL-5040 printer
    Machine 2: Windows 10 pro, prints OK to the remote printer.
    Machine 3: Windows 10 home, Used to print, but not anymore (THIS IS THE PROBLEM).
    I’ve tried everything that I can think of, and would appreciate any suggestions.
    I did these steps on Machine 3 that did not work.

    1. Remove the printer device.
    2. Add a Printer
    3. The printer that I want isn’t listed
    4. Select a shared printer by name
    5. Browse
    6. Select the displayed Machine 1.
    7. Select the displayed Printer.
    8. Next
    9. Failure “Connect to Printer”.
    10. Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or Hostname
    11. Next
    12. Set Hostname to Machine 2, and set port name.
    13. Detecting TCP/IP Port
    14. Additional Port information required.
    15. Device Type – Standard, Brother Port Server
    16. Next
    17. Detecting the Driver Model
    18. Install The Print Driver
    19. Select Brother and Brother HL-5040
    20. Next
    21. Replace the Current Driver
    22. Printer Name (setting it to HL-5040)
    23. Next
    24. Do not share this printer
    25. Next
    26. You’ve successfully added “HL-5040”
    27. Finish
    Printing on Machine 3 puts the document in the print queue, which reports error printing.
    Printing from Machine 2 to the printer on Machine 1 works perfectly.
    All three machines are in the same HomeGroup. Machine 3 can access the shared files from Machine 1.

  3. Wireless Brother printer will not print

    HL-2270DW works fine on old 64-bit Windows 10 PC.

    Got new PC. Printer not discovered. But, I can go to Settings->Printers->remove printer, then ->add printer

    Then 'the printer than I wanted wasn't listed->bottom radial -add a local printer or network printer->use existing port LPT1->choose printer from list and it lists my model HL-2270DW->use the driver currently installed (and I just reinstalled)->share? =yes->printer
    installed, print a test page. In less than .0001 seconds I get:

    Brother printer HL-2270DW is in an error state (it is not)

    I can go back to my old PC and print fine. I know which network the old PC, new PC and printer are on (the same).

    I restarted my router.

    I can get ZERO information about the 'error state' - simply tells me it is in an error state and therefore cannot print.

    UJnable to print from Brother HL-L2320D laser printer

    I work from home and split time between my HP Pavilion P6716 f-b desktop and my Lenovo Edge 15 laptop.

    Both are wirelessly connected to an HP Photosmart 7520 All-in-one color inkjet printer

    I also have a Brother HL-L2320D laser printer connected ONLY to the HP Pavilion through a USB cable.

    I was able to print wirelessly on the Brother printer from my Lenovo laptop through my Verizon / Actiontec wireless router.

    However after downloading Windows 10 it no longer works.

    How can start printing wirelessly on the Brother laser printer from my Lenovo laptop again?
