[QUOTE="Jonathan Sachs, post: 215500, member: 10314"] I've got a serious problem with my MFC-J6920DW: the computer (Windows 7 enterprise) can no longer operate it. Today, for no reason I can identify, the computer stopped recognizing the fact that the printer's scanner function is available. I tried removing and re-adding the printer; that had no effect. "Add a device" never found the scanner or (any other device); it displayed a "Searching for devices..." message, and did nothing more. For some reason I tried scanning from the scanner's control panel, instead of from software. That not only worked; it made the scanner device magically reappear. [I]But...[/I] the printing function doesn't work. I don't know at what point this happened, since I didn't suspect a problem when the scanner device disappeared from Windows but the printer device did not. When I try to print, though, the printer doesn't do anything. Windows's print queue display says the status is "Error - Printing." Given the odd business with the scanner, I suspect that something odd has happened with the printing function too; it isn't broken any more than the scanner was. But what, and how can I fix it?
