Solved MFC-J4260DW not printing

[noclueblue]

I'm getting nickel and dimed to death! I've been to Brother several times trying to get my printer to print. Want to charge me $150 to fix a printer that already should be working. It receives data and fades. I know I ask for help alot but this stuff shouldn't be so damned difficult.

I've loaded the printer disc and everything under the sun that I could do (not much anymore), but there's stuff I need my printer for... like researching a new place to live. Dallas is too damned complicated for me.

Blue what is the printer brand and model mate - personally I find as with most hardware one buys the disk that comes with whatever is quite out of date and I always use the manufacturers sites for driver / updates as the Windows feature is not my cup of tea.

your title is not your brother printer model: Downloads | MFC-J4620DW | United States | Brother a download link for your printer driver.

Thanks Shotas I missed that on my other machine - how I don't know but at least there is a link for what I advised the OP to do

 

[noclueblue]

I downloaded a BRMain480 and it can't find my printer. The others, I don't know what they just did. Guess I'll have to try and print again.

Still not printing.

I've reinstalled but it's taking forever like these damned machines do. I'm too old for this.

I can't print to save my life and that's what I'm trying to to do.

 

[noclueblue]

I've reinstalled the software and it will not PRINT.

Now noclue is this the driver you need or not? Downloads | MFC-J4620DW | United States | Brother

and just to absolutely sure can you check that model on the compliance label please - not that I am doubting you have it wrong but one digit or letter out of whack can make all the difference.

PS have just checked the Australian Brother site and that model is not listed can you recheck the model number as I asked just now/

sir,

- How is the printer configured? is it connected to a network (LAN? or Wireless) or via USB cord?.
- Try doing "test print".

- Is there any error when you tried to print?

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Now on pain of being repetitive have you made sure of the model number/ s of that printer? If possible can you please send a picture of the compliance label.

Now as Shotas has asked how is this device connected up - not that if you have got the right driver it is still not going to work though.

When you are trying to print go to Start > Devices and Printers > make sure it is connected as the defalt printer > right click > See what is printing.

Now I am saying this because my new laptop has a nasty habit of defaulting back to the stuff (a printer I have not got) that loads with the OS install. see pic
