    Unable to install updated driver for Brother HL-2170W in Mac OS X Lion

    I have a Brother HL-2170W; an update came out of the printer. That of course meant that OS-X had to have that update, or the printer did not work. Despite his superior works in Lion before the upgrade.

    The only trouble is that it seems you cannot locate the update on the Apple site. I uninstalled the printer and tried reinstalling, and this is the note I keep getting when I attempt to reinstall the printer, leaving Apple to download the software: "The software for this printer is not accessible. give pleasure to contact the printer manufacturer to get hold of the most recent software."

    Attempt removing the printer from printing and scanning preferences, deleting the folder / Library / Printers / folder and reinstall brother the software. You might necessitate restarting; nevertheless you should be able to add the printer after that.

    I did exactly what was recommended, but I'm having the same problem as before. Is there a way to instruct the installer downloaded disk image instead of looking on the internet?

    Unfortunately, I imagine that made all the inferior. Now I cannot even acquire the printer appears in the "Nearby Printers" section and have no idea where to go from here. I've been working on this for almost four hours now. I do not know why it would be so hard to have only one point alternative of updating a file instead of trying to download it. That option would have saved me half a day in productivity (and probably a full day at the moment I find out).

    This also fixed my trouble with a new Epson Stylus NX430. The error message that had been given was the same as the original poster. His passing, unfortunately, had the effect of removing my other, still operate the printer from the list, too, but I think it's pretty easy to put back if necessary. Anyway, thank you. His was the first suggestion worked, and quickly, while the other 5 or 6 things that I tried did not work and lost hours of time not to work.
