  1. Brother Printers not working after Microsoft Update


    After on of the Microsoft Updates I cannot print to either of my two Brother printers. The file goes to the printer queue and then disappears without printing. I have a HP printer and that works fine. Is there a patch or fix? Need ASAP.

    :)

    Printer doesn't work anymore after the last Windows update

    Update: Working with a Brother MFC-J615w Multi-function device with the problem. To verify the printer actually worked I installed it on a Win7 computer, no issue. To check on Win10 I installed it on an x86 Notebook and had the problem, it hadn't been used in awhile so updated Version1909 to the latest, no luck so Upgraded to Version 2004, updated then installed KB4567523 I had downloaded from the Windows Update Catalog, works fine.

    I did a second Notebook, same as the x86 except x64. The update/Upgrade steps on the x64 machine were to Version 1909 Build 18363.81 then Upgraded to Version 2004 19041.329 then updated to Build 19041.331 and finally installed KB4567523, works fine.

    So far the only printers I've seen listed as affected are Brother, Canon, Panasonic and Ricoh.

    Brother Printers not working after Microsoft Update

    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":
