Windows 10: Error 0x800f0214 when installing Brother MFC-8910-DW printer driver on Windows 11 ARM...

My Brother MFC8910-DW printer was working fine with my new Microsoft Surface 7 laptop with ARM, and then all of the sudden stopped working. I uninstalled the printer driver, and reinstalled it, but received the error message 0x800f0214 "The specified path does not contain any applicable device INFs. I have been on the phone with three separate Brother support help representatives, we tried everything they could think of on their end, my case was even escalated and they believe the issue is with the windows operating system and that I need to contact Microsoft. Any idea what's going on?

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 MFC-465CN Printer

I got the same problem with my Brother MFC-465CN driver, when window 10 updated this June 2020 the printer stop working, I tried to refresh the drivers but it does not want to load, I tried the certificate in the windows update but its only available for
Brother MFC-4650 for some reason MFC 465CN is not on the list. I found a way to re-install the original driver. My computer were pre-installed with Windows Vista originally so I did choose the vista driver update from Brother website and everything went back
to normal, it saves me money in buying a new printer. You have to uninstall any brother driver you have on your computer if you upgraded to windows 10 but you will be ask to remove it before installation begin.

NOTE: You have to choose the operating system originally installed in your computer for the MFC-465CN.

Goodluck!

 

Printer installation Brother mfc-L5900

Hello,

I have two older computers and an older Brother MFC printer. I purchased a new Brother MFC-L5900 and tried to install the software, however, it was not compatible with Window 7. So I then install Windows 10 to both computers. I also went to the Brother
website and install the print driver to both computer. I was able to get one of the computers to print but the other wont let me print. I did a wireless setup for the printer, but keep getting an error message every time I print. I run the diagnostic tool
and it finds nothing. The computer recognizes the printer but it wont let me print a test page. Any Idea anyone.

Your help would be appreciated
