    I hate printers


    This is off topic on a Win 10 board since I am running Win 8.1 on my laptop. Win 10 is on my desktop, which is not with me at the present time. I'm getting crazy.

    I use WordPerfect x4. It's an older version of the program, but not that old.

    I can't get my Brother printer (MFC L2700DW) to print from WP. It prints from everything else including Office 365 and Word. I have removed the drivers and the software suite, uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled it all from the original Brother CD and again from a downloaded copy from Brother, updated the drivers but still when I access the print menu, all the functions are there EXCEPT the "PRINT" button is greyed out, no matter if I select a different output device or print to file. I'm using an ethernet wired connection. I couldn't get it to connect to the wireless network. I've uninstalled the printer from WP, reinstalled it as both the default and not the default printer.

    All I can do now is import documents to Word, clean up the formatting and print form there. Awkward but there are things WP does that you can't do in Word. ANYBODY GOT ANY IDEAS.

    :)

    I need a new printer.

    Do the above suggested printers jam up easy? If there is 2 pieces of office equipment I loathe, 1st is copy machines, and 2nd is printers.

    Hi Rodrigo,

    I am sorry to know that you are having issues with Printer.

    What and all steps have you tried so far?

    Restart the computer and check.

    Also, check for Windows updates.

    I suggest you to run the Printer Troubleshooter and check if it helps.


    • In Search window type Troubleshooting and click on it to open it.

    • Click on Hardware and Sound.

    • Then click on Printer to run the troubleshooter. Follow onscreen steps.
