Windows 10: "Microsoft IPP Class Driver" installs by default when attempting to use Brother MFC-J5720DW...

I find that when using Windows 10 (1903) settings to add a Brother MFC-J5720DW printer available on a network, by default, it installs with "Microsoft IPP Class Driver" as the printer driver.


You can then print, but portrait prints end up half-size and printed sideways, highly unexpected.


Solution: downloaded and installed the driver kit from Brother, which made it use a different driver, default Microsoft driver seems somewhat broken for use with the printer.

Is this kind of issue where a wrong a defect with driver identification? I would have expected the printer operation to be effectively plug-and-play.

Brother MFC-J6720DW WSD Driver only shows one tray

I have a Brother MFC-J6720DW Printer which by default has two trays, one for A3 and one for A4.
Windows installs a WSD driver for this printer, but the driver only lists one tray. How can I get the driver to recognize the second tray. I would prefer not to install the whole brother driver suite, but use the small footprint WSD driver.

 

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 driver update for Brother MFC-7840W

Windows Update (Windows 10) keeps installing this "update" repeatedly:

Brother driver update for Brother MFC-7840W

Usually it succeeds, but other times it fails and I get a notice in my Action Center. It's been doing this as far back as the Update History goes, 8/22/15.

The Brother web site does not indicate any driver updates for this model since 2010.

Any ideas?
