I just got a Brother LED printer: the HL-3170CDW. Very nice printer. Works fine on with one 64 bit Win-7 system. With another system, a 32 bit Win-7, it won't work at all. Printing a test page fails with 0x000000D, and no application can print. (The printer is seen, and its status can be monitored and so on, but Windows just won't print!) This is whether or not it is on Wi-Fi or USB. I tried three versions of the drivers, and every possible remedy: I applied a Microsoft HotFix for repairing Win7/SP1 systems. I ran sfc /scannow. I run chkdsk /F on the C: drive. (The machine is an older system, but the SMART info shows that the drive is in perfect health: low temperature, no bad sectors.) I reset Windows Update and got it into a sane state. I went through every possible trouble-shooting procedure that could be googled up that could be related to the issue. Fixed things in the registry according to various steps. No dice.
