    I thought it would be a simple answer but....

    I have 2 computers that are set to automatically update, these were the computers that were initially causing the problem with printing which started a couple of days ago. I could easily uninstall KB4560960 just by selecting it, I could then print to the wireless printer again.

    I also have 1 computer which I haven't updated for I think about 4 months. I could still print on this computer until about 2 hours ago. I thought I might as well update this computer and then uninstall the said update at the end. Unfortunately when I tried to uninstall update KB4560960 it was nowhere to be found! So now I can no longer print from this computer!

    Not sure if it helps, but if you need more info let me know.

    Hello,
    today I noticed the same issue with my printer (Brother DCP-195C). I first tried reinstalling drivers/rebooting the pc/restarting printer/removing printer but that did not help.

    I luckily found this thread and was able to solve/workaround the problem by uninstalling the WU KB4560960 (via GUI, 'Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features -> Installed Updates'). After a reboot the printer worked again. Thanks for the hint!
    Via the feedback hub I reported the problem to Microsoft.

    Download and run wushowhide.diagcab or your PC will download the driver again.

    Click "Next" and it will search for updates and it will, or should, show KB460960.
    Click the check box next to it and click "Hide updates" and wait for it to finish. Don't think you have to, but I reboot my computer.
