win10pro-32bit-22H2, new install.
my brother hl-5040 printer wont work in win10.
win10 refuses to install the driver.
this is a multiboot computer the printer works fine in XPPro-32bit & win7-64bit.
it connects via USB
it appears in 2 places, settings-devices & scanners, where it says driver is unavailable.
ive tried adding new printer from there, using port USB001, it finds it but after a minute it sez win cant install hl-5040 kemel mode print driver, contact manufacturer.
printer also appears in control panel-devices & printers where properties sez everything is fine.
ive tried power on/off & unplug/replug USB cable. I get the usual usb msg scanning devices then device is ready.
so usb seems happy but settings sez driver unavailable & printer dont show up when I try & print a doc.
Again, it works fine if i boot to win7 or XP.
