In either case, when I install that printer choice, I can printer but I don't understand the inconsistency in the printer available to install. The next two times, the only choice of printers to install is a generic icon and the only function shown is fax. This document contains answers to the most frequently asked questions about HP Utility. With it, you can check current printer status, view remaining ink levels, check network settings, and more. The first time, the Icon it loads for the MF644Cdw actually looks like the printer I have and it shows all three functions listed on the printer (print, scan, fax). HP Utility is printer management software that installs with the full feature Mac print driver package. Brother seems to be not that great of a printer company. The availability of the drivers and utilities vary. The Printer Driver includes the CUPS Printer Driver, BR-Script Driver (PS Driver), PC-FAX Driver and Brother Status Monitor. This is hilariously annoying I hope Apple will provide the proper CUPS driver for this printer. The latest Brother original Printer Driver for macOS v10.14.x is available from the Downloads section for your model on the Brother Solutions Center. Brother expects macOS users to export everything that needs to print to PDF, and then print it using the Brother iPrint&Scan utility app. I have done a printer reset and reinstalled the printer three times and each time, the drivers or the software it installs for the printer is slightly different. This is silly as this printer is only released this year.
I executed the repair, reinstalled the software and then reinstalled the printer and it works. I did this although in my version of Sierra, it is simply called "Disk Repair".
The suggested solution that worked for that user was to go into DIsk Utilities for the disk that the printer drivers and software reside on and do a "permissions repair". I was able to get it working with a rather large caveat: I was searching for similar problems and came across an entry on an HP printer forum that had the same problem. Thanks for the reply, my computer is a Mac Mini, not a notebook.
