 Printer Wierdness - Bromptonaut
I've recently replaced my ancient Canon inkjet printer scanner with a Brother Laser printer/scanner, model number DCP-L2620DW.

It's my printer but I also use it for work as it's less bother than having a second one. Other than occasional benefit forms and letters to clients who are not IT savvy I don't do much work printing but I've had the IT bods add it to my work Lenovo and set it as default.

Today it's steadfastly refused to print stuff from the work PC. However it's fine with personal stuff like an email with access arrangements for next weeks cottage on Harris. When I went into th Google drive where my work files reside from my own PC everything printed fine.

Work PC says the Brother is 'offline'. Home PC says it's fine.

Maybe associated with sleep mode or fact that it has more than one PC attached. Mrs B had a fight to print off stuff to return a pair of shoes that don't suit.

Any ideas?
