    Brother MFC 290C printer stopped printing after Windows 10 Update

    Brother MFC 290C printer stopped printing after Windows 10 Update. This is soooo frustrating. Removed and reinstalled all Brother files TWICE already with no fix. Ran all kinds of troubleshooting programs which did not find anything wrong. Updated drivers.
    Checked cables. NOTHING WORKED!!!! Can someone help please.

    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 MFC J825DW Printer is Offline


    Dangit, Microsoft has messed up my printers once again!

    My Brother MFC J825DW (Inkjet) printer won't print because Windows has set it to offline!

    My Brother MFC 7460DN (Laser) printer just trucks right along.

    Anybody know how I can get my Inkjet Brother back online?
