Receive this message now after trying to download an update fax program from the brother online site. Worked fine before. In the download process the machine beeped several times then came up with this error. I have tried unpluging and letting it sit for a time and did get it to work once after being unpluged a day.Once I then unpluged it to move it back to my computer and the same message again. Can you help clear this code error.

I downloaded an update for Print Shop Pro program. My Brother MFC 5840CN Now, my Brother MFC 5840CN will not print. I get the error message: Unable to Init. See Troubleshooting and routine maintenance chapters in User's Guide.
I uninstalled all MFC 5840CN software. I also downloaded uninstall Brother software and the full Brother MFC 5840CN software package.
I couldn't find anything on the Brother website about the printer function not working. A lot of information about setting up and using the FAX function.
I do not need, want, or use the FAX function.
What's wrong with my MFC 5840CN? How do I fix it?
