Windows 10: Where's the brother mfc 6800 driver for windows 10

I have Windows 10 enterprise loaded onto my Acer laptop. I want to load up the built in drivers for my old Brother MFC 6800 printer. I can't find the printer in the list of Brother drivers when I go through Settings>Printers>Add Printers>Add a Local Printer With Manual Settings. This is very strange, as I was able to find and add the driver for the MFC 6800 on my Dell laptop also with Windows 10 enterprise through the same steps.


Why can't I find the MFC 6800 driver on my Acer?

Brother MFC-465CN Printer

I got the same problem with my Brother MFC-465CN driver, when window 10 updated this June 2020 the printer stop working, I tried to refresh the drivers but it does not want to load, I tried the certificate in the windows update but its only available for
Brother MFC-4650 for some reason MFC 465CN is not on the list. I found a way to re-install the original driver. My computer were pre-installed with Windows Vista originally so I did choose the vista driver update from Brother website and everything went back
to normal, it saves me money in buying a new printer. You have to uninstall any brother driver you have on your computer if you upgraded to windows 10 but you will be ask to remove it before installation begin.

NOTE: You have to choose the operating system originally installed in your computer for the MFC-465CN.

Goodluck!

 

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?
