My elderly DCP195C has been working fine with my Windows 10S until today, Thu 11 June 2020.  Windows did a large update yesterday or day before.  Now the printer will not work  }:-(   Tried looking at settings but nothing seems to solve the problem.  Anyone any suggestions please?

    Hello everyone, can I suggest that you all read a tandem thread regarding Brother Printers not responding to the print command.  For the attention of the Microsoft Independent Advisers,   please check  https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows\_10-hardware/printer-wont-print/2a85dead-7dbe-473c-9516-2a460925cc8c?messageId=bafec329-1aa1-43fc-ae71-31d1bff15c6f , where, what seems to be the same problem cannot be resolved using some of the same checks and attempted fixes.

    Hi!

    I also have this problem with my DCP 195C on Windows 10 Home. I tried to reinstall drivers and change USB port but this changes nothing. It seems the printer is recognized correctly by programs and as a printer because You can access printer settings (and Brother dedicated printer settings) only Windows don't recognize printer by it's drivers and don't list it in printers list in settings - it is listed under "Unspecified" section. In result printing don't work at all. I am almost sure it is the fault of last update.

    best regards
