Brother Printer Drivers for Big Sur.

Updated to Big Sur. My Brother mono laser printer had its driver replaced with the app "Move to Kindle". The Brother website has no listed drivers for Mac OS 11. Any advice?

Hi,


You mentioned that you have tried generic and Gutenprint drivers without success.


For some other models, it has in fact been possible to use a fresh macOS Catalina 10.15 driver even for macOS 11 Big Sur, after a printing system reset (steps in link below). You may have tested this already. If so, please disregard this message. If not, a (version 1.5.0) macOS Catalina 10.15 printer driver download can be found here:

If necessary, try a network connection (LAN port of a Wi-Fi router) for the printer, instead of USB.
