    Brother MFC J6720DW listed with strange icon in Devices and Printers

    I have reinstalled the drivers for my Brother MFC J6720DW and now the printer icon is listed in the unspecified category instead of the printer category. The printer is the "Device" icon to the right.

    Right clicking on the icon shows the usual items for a printer (printing properties etc.), In addition it shows a "Browse Files" entry that lists the card reader of the printer.

    To the left of the Brother printer icon there is another similar one that seems to be my USB card reader

  3. Scanner on Brother MFC-465CN refuses to run - printer works fine.

    Trying to get the scanner on my Brother MFC-465CN to run, but having no luck at all.

    Have tried all solutions listed on this thread (Redirecting) - but cannot get the scanner to work. Had no trouble getting the printer to work.

    The Brother MFC-465CN machine is connected via USB cable to my computer. I am running Windows 10 Home - 64bit version 21H2.

    • I have tried installing numerous drivers, checking the scanner after each installation, without success
    • tried running setup programs normally, as well as in 'Compatibility mode' (compatible with Windows 7 - as well as running them as Admin.)
    • tried disabling my firewall
    • tried keeping the machine off & unplugged until just before driver was installed
    Any new help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Brother Printer MFC 635cw

    I have the same problem with a Brother MFC-J835DW. Neither of the above suggestions solved the problem.

    The printer worked with Windows 10 for several weeks. Today, Windows 10 says the printer is offline. The printer is turned on, connected to the network, and responds to a ping from the Windows 10 computer. But Windows 10 still thinks the printer is "offline".

    Windows printer troubleshooter was useless. It would only suggest that I turn the printer on.

    I tried to remove and uninstall the printer but Windows 10 became non-responsive and would not delete the printer.

    Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
