installing driver for HL-L2300D printer for Big Sur OS
Hello,
I can't seem to install AirPrint or brother print&scan for my HL-L2300D printer. Any suggestions?
MacBook Air 11″, macOS 11.2

Hi,
The HL-L2300D appears to be a USB-only printer (not a network model). It is not mentioned in About AirPrint - Apple Support.
If nothing else works, it could possibly be worth testing a macOS Catalina 10.15 printer driver even with macOS Big Sur 11.

However, look upon this as a pure experiment. It may not work at all. There is always a certain risk involved with an experiment. Software conflicts cannot be ruled out. You may have to erase and reinstall everything on the computer. Data may be lost. A hardware problem is unlikely, but it is impossible to guarantee anything. Do not proceed unless you know what you are doing. In any case, make sure that at least three backup copies of important files are available before you start.
