printer problems
hi i am having trouble downloading the brother software into my win7 x 64bit laptop. the 2 printers i use are an HL-2140 laser printer and an MFC 425 CN multi function centre.
both of these 2 were working fine up until a couple of months ago , both disappeared, since then i have tried to re instal the software which i am sure i have successfully done but i cannot get either machine to print anything, i have the disc for the laser printer also.
i can print the test page from the laser printer and it does not show any problems.
while both are listed in my "all programs ", none are listed in device manager.
i run a paid for version of zone alarm and the free version of key scrambler, both of these have been disable for the downloads.
i believe there are several difference in the dowloads from brother than when i did previously successfully installed the software, firstly there is now a box to decompress the files and secondly when the instal is nearly completed i get a message "invalid argument ", i do not know what this last one means but i think it maybe the problem .i have tried different cables also.
in addition to the above i sometimes also use a toshiba satellite laptop with these 2 printers with exactly the same results, this laptop is XP home, a paid for version of zone alarm and the free version of key scrambler.
i have mozilla , google chrome and I/E8 browsers, same result, any suggestions would be appreciated , thanks palindon
