Brother HL-2030 Printer Driver unavailable

I have a MBA 2012 with 10.8.5 and wanted to reinstall the driver for my Brother HL-2030.


A year ago it worked without a frill. Now I get the message:

I found this:

This seems to be for 10.7 and below, however. So, I havent't tried it yet.


The downloaded driver from brother.com doesn't work either or their instructions, since each time I connect the printer, OS X kicks in and wants to download the driver from Apple. Which apparently doesn't work at he moment.


Any ideas?


Thanks for your support.

MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), Bother HL-2030

Sorry for the late reply. All is fine again.


In SafeMode: Printer worked perfectly.

Thereafter restart into normal mode: Printer worked perfectly again

Then Software Update Check: offered to Update the driver to 2.10 (so it is for 10.8 too, after all)

Even after update: printing works as it should with USB as well as wirelessly with Airport.


Though I don't really know, what the problem was (smells a bit like Windows Voodoo drifted into the Apple World):


Thanks a lot for your help, Csound1.
