    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":

  3. Windows 10 upgrade will not allow access to network printers

    Hi,

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    This issue might related to permission to share printer.

    I suggest you to remove the network printer and try adding it again and check if it helps

    Follow the below steps:

    Step 1: Make sure that, the printer is shared on the network in the primary computer.

    Step 2: Remove the network printer.

    a) Type Devices and printer in the search area on the task bar and select
    Device and Printer.

    b) Select the printer and click on
    Remove Device
    button.

    Step 3: Restart your system.

    Step 4: Add the network printer
    again.

    a) Type Devices and printer in the search area on the task bar and select
    Device and Printer.

    b) Click on Add Printer.

    c) Let Windows scan for the printer and if detected select the printer and click Next. If the
    printer is not listed click "The printer that I want isn't listed" and skip to add printer by name or TCP/IP address.

    Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.

    Connecting computer with no internet connection to network printer


    @dk1971
    1. Open Admin command and type: ipconfig

    2. Win+X->Control Panel->Netwok and Sharing Center
      Follow the screen shot. This should disable internet access from this PC but allows access to local device(s)
      NOTE: Use the IP & Subnet Mask from step 1. Leave Default gateway & DNS Server blank
