I have a Brother HL-1440 laser printer that was hooked up to my old computer Windows ME now I have a Windows 7 computer and the printer won't print multiple copies so I have to print 1, then 1, then 1. I tried to download from Brother site didn't work changed USB wires also. Ideas?
I can't seem to get my Brother 1440 to print using 7. It works for others in the office using vista, but I can't make it work with 7 installed. I keep getting a message saying that no drivers are installed. I DL the driver from the brother site and unzip the file. They go to C/users/wallify/appdata/temp (or something similar). It is 8 files total.
I cannot find a driver when trying to install the printer over my home network.Printer is installed and working on Dell XP 3100 Printer has prevously been installed via usb on Tosh Win 7 Printer & file sharing are set up on both computers Files and printers can be seen from the Tosh that are on the Dell. When i try to install, I get error message that a driver cannot be found. Remeber the printer is installed locally on both machines... so drivers are present. Does anyone know how to direct to the driver? I do not have an printer install disc... installed from download.
I have a Brother HL-1440 connected by USB to a new computer running Windows 7 (64-bit). The new computer is connected by an Ethernet cable to a wireless router that in turn is connected (wirelessly) to another computer running Windows XP. I am already able to share files between the two computers, and would like the XP computer to be able to share the HL-1440 connected to the Windows 7 computer.I have no problem printing from the Windows 7 computer to the HL-1440 directly - Windows 7 found the driver automatically. However, when I go to the XP computer, and try to add the HL-1440 as a new printer, I get a popup stating that "The other [Windows 7] computer does not contain the correct printer driver .....". I then ask it to search for the correct printer driver, and another popup states that "The .INF file is missing ...."I have tried re-installing the original HL-1440 driver on my Windows 7 computer, but that did not have any apparent effect.
how I can get a driver for my brother printer HL -1030 for Windows 7. I called Brother office in Canada and they say this printer is not compatible with Windows 7. Is there any other printer driver I can download and get my printer working.
Thought it might be of interest for anyone else with this 5 year old printer to know that on my system it works with XP drivers (downloaded from the Samsung site) but NOT Vista drivers.
Right-click on the driver file, select Troubleshoot Compatibility, and follow the instructions.
I have a HP desktop computer running Windows 7 64bit. I just did a factory restore. Everything was re-installed and works fine except one of the printers. There are two printers. A HP Photosmart wireless printer, which works fine. The second one is a Brother HL-2140 USB connected printer. It works fine as well BUT it does not appear in Devices and printers.
I have used Brother's uninstall tool to remove it. I then downloaded, from Brother's website, the correct driver and I re-installed (A/V was disabled during this process). The printer appeared in Devices and Printers but shortly after it disappeared again. The printer is still working but it not viewable from Devices and Printers.
My Brother HL 5250DN networked printer causes HP A6152N PC to crash when anyone on my Home Network sends a print job to the printer, including me. No BSOD, screen goes blank and starts the reboot process. Original OS was Vista when problem started a year ago, upgraded to Win 7 Ultimate x86 but still having same problem.
I have a computer using Windows 7 professional x64 with all updates current as of last Tuesday, hooked up through a Bell 2wire router (directly wired) and a laptop that is wirelessly connected to the internet through the bell 2wire router. I have a Dell Laser Colour printer on the main computer and can't figure out how to let the laptop share the thing. When I look at adding the laptop to the home group it says it can't discover any computers on the network.
I have a Dell 1720 laser printer that says it is compatible with windows 7 64 bit. Windows update downloads the driver but says there was a problem during installation. I've uninstalled the printer and tried several times to install it, but I get stuck at the same spot. I downloaded the drivers on the dell website and have the same problem, it just will not install.
