    No printer driver found for Brother HL-5040

    I Found my own work-around.

    Unplugged and re-plugged the printer (it's connected to the computer by a USB cable). Windows added the printer, but had the message "Driver is unavailable".

    Then went through the process of adding a new printer, printer not found, I have an older printer, etc., etc. until I got to the list of Brother printer drivers. I then clicked on the HL-5140 drive and windows installed it.

    So in my printers list I now have a HL-5140 printer (which is the one I select when I want to print on the HL-5040) and an HL-5040 printer with no driver.

    WARNING - Do not delete the HL-5040 printer. I did that and I couldn't print.

    I suspect one is making the physical connection and the other the software connection.

    Installing Generic drivers for Brother HL 5070-N printer

    I have an old Brother printer - an HL 5070-N and I recently bought a new computer. In trying to install the printer, I see that my model is missing from the very long list of Brother products provided by the 'Windows Update' during the installation process.
    I searched the Brother site and they are adamant that Microsoft provides a generic printer driver which will operate this machine, and I looked on my old machine which was also Windows 10 to see what driver was used - it is a Microsoft product called "printqueue.inf"
    version 10.0.17763.1 but this product isn't listed with any of the other drivers that I can see during the installation process. There doesn't seem to be a way to search for a specific driver by name - does anybody know the best way to get this thing running?

    ***Modified title from: Brother printer, Generic printer driver, Windows 10?***
