Brother is warning that many of their printers may no longer work or display errors when using a USB connection in Windows 11.
Brother states that you can ignore the error, and the document should print successfully.
For users affected by any of these issues, Brother recommends temporarily using a different connection method, such as a wireless or wired network connection.
Brother states that they are investigating the issue and are working on a resolution.
While Microsoft has not acknowledged these printing issues, it would not be surprising if they placed a safeguard hold on computers with Brother devices that prevent them from being upgraded to Windows 11.
Microsoft is already investigating eight other issues, including safeguard holds for networking software, Oracle VirtualBox, and the Cốc Cốc web browser.
