Printer Drivers Update Daily with Win 10, Why?

[itakey]

Looking at my Windows 10 update history, my Brother Laser printer drivers update every single day.

Brother driver update for Brother HL-2170W
This driver was provided by Brother for support of Brother HL-2170W
Successfully installed on 9/11/2016

Literally every single day this update occurs. I tried to uninstall and install the latest driver package for Windows 10 from Brother and this update still occurs daily

Anyone know how to fix this?

Are you attaching/disconnecting the printer every day? (Like one would with a USB cable and a laptop.)

No, it is a wireless printer that I configured and now it just stays connected via wifi.

Yeah, Epson does it too. I guess that any reason to "Freely" connect to One's computer is a ""Good"" reason even if it is twice a day.
