The dark legacy of Windows 10: Windows 11 computers have many issues with around 100 Brother printers

The printer manufacturer Brother has confirmed that its devices are experiencing problems when connecting via USB to computers running the Windows 11 operating system.

Brother noted that when connected to a computer using a USB cable, company devices may simply not be recognized, users may not be able to change their settings or connect more than one printer.

In addition, Brother also provided a list of scripts and tools that cause problems:

  • Device Configuration Tool
  • Paper Size Adjustment Tool
  • Distributed Printing Tool
  • Custom ID Setting Tool
  • Wireless setup wizard
  • P-Touch Editor 5.4
  • Updating the software
  • Transfer manager
  • Template settings

The problem is being investigated for both inkjet and laser printers. A huge list of models is listed on the manufacturer’s website. As a temporary workaround, Brother advised customers to use “another type of connection, such as wired or wireless, if available.”

Interestingly, earlier this year Microsoft fixed a very similar issue where printers were having problems connecting via USB, however this was in Windows 10.
