Anyone is using Brothers B&W printer HL series? [View all]

Happened once before and then went away, and is happening now.

I send a print job and it tells me that the printer is not connected. It is but I cannot even turn it off by pressing the On button. But... it prints a PDF file..

I unplug it, plug again still the same behavior.

It happened to me several weeks ago. I just turned everything off. The next day. all of a sudden all the previous jobs started printing.

Any suggestions?

The manual says to go to System Preferences Printers and Scanners and to delete it using the - button and then add it using the + button but doing this I am getting a dialogue box that I have no idea how to fill.

Thanks

OK, I works. I did plug it again and it gave me the default same printer and it is working. Now all I had to do is delete the "off line" icon and some others, older printers..

Curioser and curioser

Still cannot turn it off, though.
