    win10 sez no drivers for brither hl5040 printer  

    To be sure that you followed my suggestion correctly, I will specify some steps:
    CP>devices and printers>add a printer>the printer that I want isn't listed>add a local printer with manual settings>define port>Windows update and install

    Hi John,

    Thank you for providing the requested information.

    I would like to inform that the printer is not compatible with Windows 10. I suggest you to install the driver for the printer in compatibility mode by following the steps below:

    • Download the setup files for the driver and save it on your local disk.
    • Right click on the setup file of the driver and select
      “Properties”.
    • Select “Compatibility” Tab.
    • Place a check mark next to“Run this program in Compatibility mode” and select operating system from the drop down list.
    • Let the driver install and then check thefunctionality.
    Hope the information is helpful. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

    Old printer installation gives Status:Error

    You mean the post #15 that shows the port USB001 in the list of ports?
