Brother Laser Thinks it's a Brother InkJet

Try3 said:

So the symptom is, on Version 2004 only, when you print to Brother Laser MFC-2710DW the document goes to the Brother MFC-J6920DW Inkjet instead.

What happens if you print a test page using Control panel, Devices & printers, [right-click] Printer properties, Print test page?
What happened on Version 1909?

I've had wifi network printers ask me to connect through a cable for installation or reinstallation sometimes but not always. It is not necessarily significant.

Oops!

Let me go back and check my Production partition so I can straighten myself out.

I'm sorry but life has pushed its way into my computer time, so I probably won't be able to get back to my printer issues until tomorrow afternoon.

@Try3, my dual boot system consists of Production 20H1 (19042.330) and Fast Ring 2004 (20161.1000).

The printer doesn't work on Production (19042.330), but works just fine on Fast Ring (20161.1000).

Sorry about my total confusion.

When the Print dialog box comes up is the correct printer selected as default?

Yeah, I use the Laser printer as my default. It's always selected.

However, if I want to print in color, I change the printer to the 6920.

Well, pool league got cancelled tonight . . . someone who played there over the weekend tested positive for COVID-19. So, they've shut down for a couple days to sanitize the place, which is good.

Sooooooo, now I have time for playing (kicking butt) with my misbehaving printer.

Woooooooooo Hooooooooo!

Printer is now working properly on Production partition!

I don't know why I didn't think of it before, but I just restored via Macrium Reflect back to mid-May and the printer she now worky!

Of course, I'm now back on 19041.264, but I can handle that . . .

Thanks, everyone for trying to help; I really do appreciate it.

In addition, once the MR Restore was done, I checked the print queue and there was a mask document that had failed to print, which never showed up in all the checking I did. I'm betting this is what messed things up; what I don't understand is why it didn't show up in the print queue until I'd done the restore!

Wynona, I just noticed something. According to what you have posted, you are running your Production everyday machine as the Slow Ring beta 20H2.... 19042.330. Is this intentional, or am I misreading.

No big deal, just asking.

Well, silly me!

I done went 'n tole y'all I were cornfustigated! Guess I have some reading to do.

So, now that I'm properly confused, is there a way to go back to 1909 Semi-Annual Channel 18363 and is .904 supposed to be released on June 16, 2020?
