FYI an MBR table with a fat32 partition is probably what it was looking for. If that doesn’t work odds are the port is broken

I heard Brother was good, then I spent way too long formatting different USB sticks in different cluster sizes and formats, and never got ours to work with any of them. Don’t buy Brother if you want that feature, either.

That goes without saying… another user here says the drive can’t be larger than 8GB but I’m fairly certain I tried that, too.

I have a Brother printer at work that’s old enough that I don’t have a single thumb drive small enough to work with it. Haven’t tried in a while, but iirc it tops out at 8gb and the smallest I have is 32gb.
But it works fine over the network, so I’ll just carry on ignoring the firmware update it’s been begging me to install for two years.
