I have an MFC 8680DN. The network card "died"; it is connected to an Apple Airport Extreme and this works find for my Apple laptop.

Although I can see the printer in Bonjour, that software cannot find drivers for it. I have installed the Brother Driver/Software package from their website, and attempted to update the driver via the device manager but there is no .inf file to be found. If anyone, can help - I'd be grateful.

I'm using Windows 10.
