Brother Laser Printer question WinXP [brother laser printer] [brother hl]
Q: I have a Brother HL-1240 laser printer connected through the USB port. It prints fine, but if you let it sit long enough and try to print again, it will not do. You need the printer off and on again, and then printing to continue. Everyone knows what the deal is?

Re:Still trying to get this to work. I noticed when I install the native drivers, the error message is "the specified port is unknown".

Re:Hmm.. Don't know what the deal is with your problem. XP Pro properly identifies and installs the dirvers for mine, it just has the problem explained above. I've installed both drivers (native, and from Brother's site) fine, and do not get the error you get. You may want to contact Brother about that, but I think from this thread we can conclude that their drivers kind of suck to begin with.

Re:God. At least you people got it working in XP. I have an HL 1240 and run WinXP Pro. Tried connecting with both USB and Parallel cables and in both cases get "invalid access to memory location" error when installing the driver. I've tried both the native drivers and the newer one available on Brother's site. Any idea on how to resolve this?
Another strange problem is when I click on the "add a printer" link on the left in "Printers and Faxes", nothing happens. I have to go through control panel and "add new hardware" to add a printer; and even then I just get the error above. How did you guys get yours to work?

Re:So am I to understand that this is a driver problem that is causing the problem? Anybody know a way to fix this? I seem to remember it working correctly at one point, but now it's requiring me to restart the printer if it's been sitting around for awhile.

Re:I have the HL-1240N, connected to the network, and still have not gotten working drivers out of brother for that. How hard can it be to write a program that dumps print data across the network to a port on the printer? So for now I print through a win2k box on the network.
