490216 2006-10-08 21:50:00 We've attached a Brother HL-1430 laser via USB to a new Dell Dimension 3100 running WindowsXP. The print preferences windows display most instructions in what appears to be Danish - but some is in English. The HP inkjet driver (USB) is unaffected (all details in English)
We have not installed a foreign language driver.
I've seen this problem before on a friend's Dell and a web search came up with the uninstall/reinstall solution. But it doesn't work in this configuration.
We're running Open Office.
Any ideas?

Never heard of this issue with 'Dell' PC's. I take it you loaded the Printer Software and Drivers before connecting the printer.
Can you change drivers in the printer preference tab?

Its got me....Danish?!

490219 2006-10-09 00:51:00 Hi There

I had a Brother 1450 that did the same thing. This was from new, and using the Software supplied with the printer. It is not your PC. I installed to a different PC and got the same problem.
I downloaded the latest drivers and it made not a jot of difference.
In the end I just lived with it.
Doesn't help much but you are not alone.

490220 2006-10-09 02:56:00 Well, I think it's Danish - lots of dipthongs, etc. certainly isn't German.
Attempts to update or change drivers just brings up messages that insist we already have the latest driver installed.
