    Windows Updates (in 2020) Disable Printers from printing (Brother Prin


    KB4560960 - updated on 16/06/2020 (on Acer laptop)
    KB4557957 - updated on 09/06/2020 (on Asus laptop)

    Those two updates, for some unknown reason, stopped my printer printing. I updated all drivers I could through "Device Manager", I downloaded individual drivers for my "Brother MFC-235C" from third-party websites, I changed existing drivers, I did everything I know I could & nothing, nothing at all helped. Printer simply refused to print all sorts of documents or images, despite my pc saying that everything is working fine (false).

    The only SOLUTION that helped me every time is this:

    Type in search bar: View your Update history > Uninstall updates> (Uninstall latest "Update for Microsoft Windows" (should be some KB45******* as it the number may differ) > (reinstall your pc after uninstall process when asked) > try to print your documents (for me worked perfectly) - should make your printer work again.

    1.1- If it still didn't work, then be sure to have all printer-drivers updated (through "Device Manager">Printers>(your printer name) - "right click" - Update driver.

    1.1- If still didn't work, then you might have uninstalled wrong Windows Update that should have been responsible for your printer anomaly (remember was the first time you saw your printer stopped printing, then search a near windows update date & uninstall that KB update) .

    1.3- If still has no result, then I don't know.

    2.1- if everything worked fine, I highly recommend you to search in Google or YouTube "how to disable automatic Windows Updates" & disable those automatic updates since it tends to reinstall uninstalled updates that prevent printer from working good.

    :)

    Windows 10 Home Won't Print to Remote Printer


    I have three computers.
    Machine 1: Windows 10 pro, has the USB Brother HL-5040 printer
    Machine 2: Windows 10 pro, prints OK to the remote printer.
    Machine 3: Windows 10 home, Used to print, but not anymore (THIS IS THE PROBLEM).
    I’ve tried everything that I can think of, and would appreciate any suggestions.
    I did these steps on Machine 3 that did not work.

    1. Remove the printer device.
    2. Add a Printer
    3. The printer that I want isn’t listed
    4. Select a shared printer by name
    5. Browse
    6. Select the displayed Machine 1.
    7. Select the displayed Printer.
    8. Next
    9. Failure “Connect to Printer”.
    10. Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or Hostname
    11. Next
    12. Set Hostname to Machine 2, and set port name.
    13. Detecting TCP/IP Port
    14. Additional Port information required.
    15. Device Type – Standard, Brother Port Server
    16. Next
    17. Detecting the Driver Model
    18. Install The Print Driver
    19. Select Brother and Brother HL-5040
    20. Next
    21. Replace the Current Driver
    22. Printer Name (setting it to HL-5040)
    23. Next
    24. Do not share this printer
    25. Next
    26. You’ve successfully added “HL-5040”
    27. Finish
    Printing on Machine 3 puts the document in the print queue, which reports error printing.
    Printing from Machine 2 to the printer on Machine 1 works perfectly.
    All three machines are in the same HomeGroup. Machine 3 can access the shared files from Machine 1.

    Can't Access networked Brother Laser printer- To print or use Web I/f


    Not all Printer drivers are included in the installation media. Even mine (Brother HL-4040CN), you would need to manually add it to the list:

    1. Control Panel->Devices and Printers->Add a Printer
    2. Follow the steps to set up a network printer. At one point, Windows will search for available printer, click on "The printer that I want isn't listed"
    3. Click on "Windows Updates". Windows will start downloading a complete list of Printers.
    4. Select your printer name & model then install.

    EDIT: Just tried to install as a USB printer for MFC-7820N since I don't have this printer to set up as a network printer. The result as shown in the list after clicking on "Windows Update":
