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:
https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadlist.aspx?c=us_ot&lang=en&prod=dcp7065dn_all&os=10060
If necessary, try a network connection (LAN port of a Wi-Fi router) for the printer, instead of USB.
Reset the Mac printing system to solve a problem - Apple Support
My Mac has been updated to OS Big Sur 11.5.
I have a Brother DCP-7065DN.
I am connected via USB between laptop & printer.
I now cannot print - receive error message "error while printing" - however scanning works fine, so clearly the printer and my Mac are talking to each other.
What do I need to do to fix this situation?
No idea what you are referring to, the Brother site does not refer to a push-scan app, and I can't find one on the app store. If I use the iPrint & Scan the message is very specific: the DCP-7030 is not supported.
Thanks! I missed that recommendation. Vuescan works like a charm. Whew, I can scan again.
Old Toad, this is not the first time you've saved my bacon over the years, and I am grateful for your help.
I have the Big Sur printer problem, but with a new iMac (OS 11.3). Can't use with my older Brother printer, and no driver appears available. Would there be anything dangerous to my computer with trying an OS 10 series driver as some here have suggested with their laptops? Has anyone else confronted this problem with a desktop? Thanks!
Updated to Big Sur version 11.6 and now the scan software from Brother will not work. Checked the Brother site and doesn't mention Big Sur anywhere. Please help. The model of the Brother printer is DCP J-1100DW.
hello. MFC-L3770cdw. Colour prints are awful. iPrint&Scan does not offer colour, contrast, light enhancements as drivers usually do.
Any idea?
merci.
Hi,
Thank you for the report. Good to get an idea confirmed by someone who has the exact printer model.

Hello skappley,
You're welcome! Good news. Glad to hear that the macOS 10.15 driver works with Big Sur and your printer model.
Interesting, I had tried the driver before and I was only getting blank pages. Now I appear able to print! Thanks!
