A folder with the name 'rempnp' will be automatically created.

Once downloading is completed, double click the downloaded file to extract it.

Make a temporary directory on your HDD to save the downloaded file, e.g.

What it was was, my eyes are trained to not read their stupid instructions under the download I used brother's site unistall tool (to remove drivers which apparently stay even after REmove DEvice from Control panel) so I can 'plug and play let windows install driver itself' (unplug the usb and plug it back in). EXE or Run this or any obvious thing to simply click to run the uninstall as if this as if setting up a Fkng printer is some complex process that needs all this don't get me started. dll garbage I don't know what to do with and no. From that download though I get another folder of random. I tried the Brother Uninstall tool descriptions say run this to let window plug and play install the printer instead. I ran the dpinst圆4 and gave it pop up warning permission to run and then nothing happens. But there are two 'applications' dpinst圆4 and dpinstx86. then gives me a folder with no clear EXE or anything to click, just tons of garbage in folders etc. and download this Y14A_C1-hostm-1110 thing, decompress it. So I try to just install the drivers from brother site linked above (BTW, I just want driver and no stupid dashboard, utility etc software option). (or I got that Not compatible with 3.0 USB). So I go to manually set a printer up and select USB and get Unable to install printer make sure the name is correct and connected to network.

When I try to Add A Printer in Control panel, it only finds the printer in the other room which is like a shared printer on the router but I don't want to use that one, just my usb-connected printer (this printer is USB only and no wifi or anything).

I plugged it direct to PC in a black (2.0?) (not blue) usb port but still doesn't do anything. I got it to almost set up but said something about it's an older device not meant for USB 3.0 (I have it on a brand name USB HUB that is all 3.0 ). Now it's giving me all types of problems. Every once and a while it isn't found and fails to print so I just unplug the USB and plug it back and DEvice Set Up (or something) automatically makes it work.
