<p>Gerwin, &nbsp;Thanks for the prompt reply. &nbsp;I don't know what might have changed (Windows upgrades regularly), but I've reinstalled the L3750CDW three times. &nbsp;Each time it gives me the "GDI" version and the "Series" version, but only the "Series" version works and only the "GDI" version shows up under "Printers and Scanners" and the "GDI" version is the Default.</p>

I run Windows 11, and have several Brother printers.  While all the printers work, my system shows one of the printers as "Default" that does not work.  See image below.  As you can see, I've tried reinstalling the MFC-L3750CDW three times, and always get the one ending in "GDI" as "Default".  But that one doesn't work.  The one ending in "Series" works.  But when I go to my "Printers and Scanners" setting, only the GDI appears (see second image).  How can I change the Default printer to the "Series" printer?
Thanks, Phil


Is one of the printers a new printer or has anything been changed recently?
Did you try installing the drivers for the L3750CDW?

Why doesn&amp;#39;t my printer appear in Printer and Scanner settings?

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

Windows 11 is a major version of the Windows NT operating system developed by Microsoft that was announced on June 24, 2021, and is the successor to Windows 10, which was released in 2015. 

Windows 11 was released to the public on October 5, 2021, as a free upgrade via Windows Update and Windows 11 Installation Assistant on eligible devices running Windows 10.

Windows 11 features major changes to the Windows shell influenced by the canceled Windows 10X, including a redesigned Start menu, the replacement of its "live tiles" with a separate "Widgets" panel on the taskbar, the ability to create tiled sets of windows that can be minimized and restored from the taskbar as a group, Microsoft Teams being integrated into the taskbar, and new gaming technologies inherited from Xbox Series X and Series S such as Auto HDR and DirectStorage on compatible hardware. Internet Explorer (IE) has been replaced by the Blink engine-based Microsoft Edge, while IE's core is retained for Edge's IE mode, and Microsoft Teams is integrated into the Windows shell. Microsoft also announced plans to allow more flexibility in software that can be distributed via Microsoft Store.

Windows 11

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
