Brother HL1440 does not print correctly.

🔍 Brother HL1440 does not print correctly.

This guide explains how to download the correct generic driver and adjust printer settings so Sure-Fire can print correctly.

⚠️ Before You Begin

You will need access to the Brother HL-1440 printer driver download and permission to add/change a printer driver on your computer.

📊 Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Install the correct PCL driver

Follow the download instructions below.

You need to download the generic driver for this printer from http://solutions.brother.com/hl1400/download/dl-generic2kxp.html. Download the Generic PCL Driver: WHQL Certified Enhanced Generic PCL Driver for Windows 2000/XP (only for HL-1440,HL-1450 and HL-1470N).

Save and run the file, and then add a new printer. When you come to the driver selection dialog, click the Have Disk... button and point it to the location where you extracted the drivers. You need to choose the PCL4 Driver.

This will now allow you to print reports using this printer.

Step 2: If needed, check the Print Processor method

If your printer does not print correctly, you may need to adjust the print method.

In some cases, if the printer is configured to use the "BR-print" method instead of "Win-Print" (with RAW data format), the printer will not function correctly with Sure-Fire. You can check and change this, if necessary, by doing the following:

Select Start, Settings, Printers and Faxes
Right-click the printer and select Properties
Click on the Advanced tab
Click the Print Processor... button at the bottom
Change the processor and data format if needed, then click OK

❌ Common Errors

If you have installed the driver but still see printing issues, confirm you selected the PCL4 driver and re-check the print processor/data format setting.
