When I boot up my comp (windows 10, Home Edition), I’m getting pop-ups for my Brother printer. Ive had the printer for 2 or 3 years, and have used their “Brother iPrint&Scan” to run it since day one, but the pop-ups have only been happening for a few weeks.

They always have this text:

…and I always click “Don’t show this again”, but then I boot my computer up and it’s back.

Any way to kill it for good, without also killing the printer?

    Uninstall it all, wipe it out.

    Then just install hopefully via Add Printer in settings. If it’s worth its salt, it’ll just work through standardised connections. Both Mac and windows.

    If not, then you’re confined to their own drivers. Use the ones that came on the cd for the software and never update it. If it lets you.
