Windows 10: Is there a fix for the printer driver that has stopped my Brother Printer

Since the update this weekend, my Brother DCP-330C has stopped working. Removing and reinstalling did not work. I tested the printer on a laptop and it works fine.

The update has corrupted the driver. Is there a fix?

:)

 

Brother MFC-J825DW Printer Drivers Gone

I did a fresh install build 10061 so I need to Add this Printer (Brother HL-4040CN) wired to the Router. However, the Printer did not appear on the list. And here's what I did to get it working:

1. In the router->LAN Settings: assign a static IP for the printer (in my case: 192.168.1.9)
2. Control Panel->Devices and Printers->Add a Printer
3. Since the Printer was not regconized by this build. Click on "My Printer is not on the list"
4. Select TCP/IP and type 192.168.1.9
5. A windows will popup with a list of Printer Drivers. If your Printe is not on the lis, click on "Windows Updates" to get a complete list of printer drivers
6. Select my Printer (HL-4040CN).
7. Done

Since you want to setup as a Wireless printer. You could do the same as I did ie. connect the printer to the router then assign a static IP for your Printer then disconnect the cable. It should not matter whether it's wired or wireless as long as it is on the network and is assigned with a fixed IP.

 

'Brother' Printer Driver needed

I suggest that you find a printer that is compatible with XP.

I gave you the Brother information to explain that it won't work with XP.

I thought this explained it:

I gave you that link to show you why you can't install that printer on XP.

And that had to do with what I posted earlier:

Microsoft does not supply the XP Driver for a new Brother Printer.

Brother supplies the Drivers for their products.

 

Can't print to Brother networked printer

Well, just discovered the problem by comparing it to another computer here (it's still Win 8.1).

It turns out that on the 'Advanced' tab of the printer properties, there's a dropdown box to select the driver. And for some reason, the driver was set to something called 'Brother Laser Leg Type1 Class Driver' rather than 'Brother MFC-8480DN Printer'. Selecting the latter fixed the problem. *Rolleyes

Thanks to both of you for your suggestions.
