After reinstalling W10, I can't find the driver for my printer and on the Brother site, there are no basic drivers or updates available. What solution can you suggest? Thank you for your quick help. Best regards, Davidc77.

    Hello,

    The drivers are no longer available from Brother as they are supposed to be integrated into Windows.

    If necessary, perform a Windows Update, including the hardware drivers option if applicable.

    This recognition is automatic only via USB connection; you need to install the manual drivers in case of ethernet connection (but then you have to forfeit the scanning functions if there are any).

    Hello ....

    In principle, Windows 10 should automatically recognize this printer since its basic drivers are included in the system ...See this link

    You can then install the additional software either from your installation CD ... or from the Brother website if available

    See you if there are any problems

      Hello,

      That said, my Brother Laser (it's not the same model) installs all the required Windows 10 drivers without a hitch from the supplied CD. It's probably the simplest solution if you have the CD and if the model is recent enough to include the necessary drivers.
