    Brother Printer Install Failing


    Good Morning Friends! Brother Printer Install Failing :)

    I am trying to install a Brother 6200 on my Win 10 laptop, and getting a failure that I'm not sure how to resolve. I run the installer and then it quickly says "File or directory corrupted and unreadable." Which directory is it probably looking at and how can I fix this? I've run chkdsk /f but it doesn't appear to have fixed anything.

    If I posted this in the wrong forum, my bad. Thanks for any help you can provide!

    :)

    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":

    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' Printer Driver needed

    Dear Bill, thanks for your response. I have already been to the URL you gave. Brother suggested I contact Microsoft for the answer.

    Is there anything like a universal driver for XP and Brothers Printers?

    I never had this problem with the Samsung printers I have. But one of them recently failed so I had to purchase a new printer. JC
