Yes, firmware updates can fix bugs and improve printer performance. Download the latest firmware from the Brother support website for your specific printer model. Connect the printer to your computer via USB or network cable, as instructed by the Brother documentation. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the firmware update. During the update, avoid interrupting the process, as this can damage the printer. If possible, use a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi for a more stable update. Many Reddit users report success resolving their error state after a firmware update.
