Windows 10: Error while installing brother VC500W printer driver. Operation could not be completed...

Hello, i am hoping you can help. I am operating a surface pro x, with Windows 10. Build details are:


I am installing a printer driver, and getting the error in the message screen.


Diagnostics tried so far:

I have uninstalled the driver and tried again

I have turned off the virus software Macafee and installed. Did not work - uninstalled again

I have turned off the firewall Microsoft and installed. did not work, and uninstalled again.

I have successfully installed an Epson printer.


This printer is a colour label printer.

:)

 

Brother Printer exists & works, but won't "Install" - Why?

Check whether I understood you well.
First try: Add new printer, Windows finds printer and loads its own drivers/programme automatically. It wprks but not with the Brother drivers.
Second try: Brother package: failed
I suggest a third try: Add new printer; the printer that I wanted is not listed; continue and see of your model is listed. in the list of printers.
I had difficulties with setting up another Brother printer, and the third try solved it.

 

Installing Generic drivers for Brother HL 5070-N printer

I have an old Brother printer - an HL 5070-N and I recently bought a new computer. In trying to install the printer, I see that my model is missing from the very long list of Brother products provided by the 'Windows Update' during the installation process.
I searched the Brother site and they are adamant that Microsoft provides a generic printer driver which will operate this machine, and I looked on my old machine which was also Windows 10 to see what driver was used - it is a Microsoft product called "printqueue.inf"
version 10.0.17763.1 but this product isn't listed with any of the other drivers that I can see during the installation process. There doesn't seem to be a way to search for a specific driver by name - does anybody know the best way to get this thing running?

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":
