(error 0x000007d1) on Printer

Anonymous

Hello;

Since I have updated to the new version 1803, my Brother's HL-L2340DW Mono Laser printer will not print, and receive this error code. I have uninstalled this drivers and program 3 time and reinstalled it. It is setup for wireless. It says that the printer is there and working, but no print. It says that it has a invalid driver. So, somewhere in your programming of 1803 version Microsoft had changed something. Because it used to work flawlessly. I don't think this is a Brother's driver problem, but a Microsoft drivers problem. Fix it please! I want my printer to work again. And don't tell me it is a Brother's problem when I know it all started with the version of 1803. This is a screen shot of the error code that I get. I was trying to print a test page.

Thank You

I am encountering the exact same problem. NO "PostSPUpgrade" in my registry. Funny thing. I setup a printer (Canon) here at home for use at our church and afterword... my Laser and Photo Printer suddenly started working. Until the next day and then the error messages started again.

And like everyone else, the printers "show" as working. I can also print from my MS Surface Pro using Windows 10 via the internet to my HP Photo printer. Which seems odd.

Both my printers are hard wired to my Desk Top computer. And I only started having this problem late this earily this year and yet the "problem" seems to have started back in 2018.

Extremely frustrating.
