    How are you connected - wifi or a cable?

    You could try resetting the printing system - sometimes resolves printing problems. Be aware that all listed printers will be deleted and need to be added again:

    Thanks Paul.

    I'm connected by USB cable. Tried looking for a Brother driver download but they do not provide one for this printer.

    If I delete all listed printers for the purpose of then doing a reset, will I not lose them all - as there is seemingly no appropriate driver - and finish worse off than I currently am?

    Regards

    Any printers listed that currently work or are recognised will hopefully add back OK, but yes it's not guaranteed the reset will sort the problem - but it might. You may want to hang fire for other suggestions before deciding to take the chance.
