satya - 9/7/2020, 1:15:53 PM

I have 2 color lasers now 2020

1. HP

2. Brother HL-3270CDW

HP color laser barely works!!!

1. Always had trouble with HP printers!!!

2. This year I thought they may have fixed it!!

3. No

4. Specifically certain PDFs when printed it looses wifi connectivity

5. I have to reregister with wifi each time

2. this is all i could get in school emergency

3. worked well....

4. However it is a "TONER" hog

5. it has 4 toners. Each one the low end is about 80 dollars

HL-3270 CDW Connectivity Issues

1. New computer won't find it on the wifi network

2. went through setup wizard

3. No luck

4. downloaded their driver (installation is awful!!. I dont even know if it installed anything)

satya - 9/7/2020, 1:24:34 PM

Here is HL-3270 CDW support page

satya - 9/7/2020, 1:24:56 PM

Their full driver install is 200MB!!!

satya - 9/7/2020, 1:25:04 PM

I downloaded it

satya - 9/7/2020, 1:26:42 PM

However before installing it, a simple restart of the printer worked

1. I have tried reregistering with wifi

2. printing a network page

3. installing a new driver

4. Finally gave up and downloaded the 200M chunky one

5. I said let me restart the printer to see if that works!!!

6. Now add printer on windows 10 recognizes it
