Brother Printer Software
November 30, 2023

Control Center 4 shortcut:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\ControlCenter4\BrCcBoot.exe" /model="MFC-9130CW LAN"

If Control Center 4 doesn't connect:
- Remove printer from Devices + Printers
- Remove all Brother software from Programs + Features
- Use print driver installer, extracted folders, MSI, uninstall each .msi in the folder (15 or so)
- Remove Brother folder from 'C:\Program Files', 'C:\Program Files (x86)', and 'C:\ProgramData' folders.
- In Regedit, remove these:
- - - 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Brother'
- - - 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Brother' and 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Brother'
- - - 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Brother'
- Reboot
- Reinstall software

HP Envy printer complains about "Tray out of paper", which refers to Photo Tray
December 2, 2023

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printing-Errors-or-Lights-Stuck-Print-Jobs/Windows-messages-photo-tray-out-of-paper-Not-trying-to-use/td-p/6502549

Fix that I found was to remove HP Smart App, and printer, reinstall printer. It then prints without this error.

Print Driver is unavailable
December 1, 2023

I've tried multiple fixes, so far the only thing that seems to work is installing the printer and manually picking the folder with the driver in it.
