Brother Printer Manual

Summarize Article By: Jim Marshall

Stressed out because you cannot print from your Brother printer? Sometimes the solutions are easy fixes, such as a paper jam or replacing an ink cartridge. But there comes a time when printers cease to work because of a much deeper issue. This problem is likely driver-related. If you're hooking up the printer to a new machine or you recently installed a new Operating System on your current computer, the two may not be compatible. If you've recently installed new hardware to your computer and subsequently your printer is on the fritz, then the new hardware is likely causing a technological glitch. There are a lot of problems that can occur with your Brother printer and if basic troubleshooting doesn't correct the issue, then a likely fix is to update the driver.
A driver is a library of files that contain the specific code required to carry out actions of the device, your Brother printer in this case. In a sense, it works as the device middle-man.
Having the most up-to-date Brother printer driver can fix bugs, patch security vulnerabilities, add new features or software, add compatibility to unsupported operating systems, and may offer improved performance. If yours is outdated or corrupted, you may be experiencing poor computer performance, application freezing, and computer crashes.
Whether you're troubleshooting your Brother inkjet, laser, all-in-one, or network printers, you surely know how hard it can be to locate and install the right driver. You can find some driver updates on Brothers website, along with some very long instructions on how to update the driver. You need to use driver update software on your system - the software quickly scans for and downloads the correct official printer driver for your Brother printer, or any other device driver on your computer.
