printer drivers comparison
SUMMARY
When the pinter MFC-L2700DW is linked to a client router to the main router in
wifi mode, the computer clients cannot detect the printer without addressing
the route in the configuration driver manager of the printer manually added. In
this case, it's necessary to select the driver which is missed for the
aforementioned specified brother model forcing to use another listed driver
provided for a similar model named MFC-L2710DW. For a reason of clarity would
be useful if that driver will be also named as MFC-L27OODW to facilitate the
user to get the right driver for the same model.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. attach the model specified or another printer machine to a secondary router
linked in wifi to the main router
2. verify the printer is not detected adding a new printer
3. procede by manual mode to the IP address by IPPù;
4. search the driver
5. use the driver of the similar model
OBSERVED RESULT
the printer MFC-L2700 runs a driver of the MFC-L2710DW prints due to the
inability of detecting the printer when it is linked to a client router.
EXPECTED RESULT
the MFC-L2700DW gets a driver named MFC-L2700DW when it is linked to a client
router unable to detect the printer automatically.
Oother solution: the printer MFC-L2700DW similar to MFC-L2700DW is detected
when it is linked to a client router linked to the main router by wifi.
