When printing, always select a working printer driver. We also recommend deleting unnecessary printer icons.

- Click Start > Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners.

Make sure the Brother machine's status.
If the status is idle, it means the printer driver is working correctly. Select this printer driver when printing.
