Unable to add Brother printer / Registration timed out
Hi all,
We would like to provide a bit more context of the recent change that impacted these printers. Microsoft is required to make changes to make TLS 1.2 more secure. Unfortunately, these changes impacted Brother printers that were using the recently deprecated ciphers.
Listening to your feedback regarding the difficulty of using the workaround. We are working to temporarily allow Brother printers to connect to Universal Print until they can publish printer updates supporting stronger ciphers.
We expect the rollout for the temporary connectivity access to be complete by Feb. 3, assuming no other issues were hit.
We are actively discussing how we can better provide early notice to partners and allow for time to make the necessary changes going forward.
Regards,
Jimmy
This is great news, thank for the quick update and your continued attention to this issue. I'm pleased to hear this incident might help improve the change messaging and coordination with partners in the future.
Cheers,
