Ok so I have this brother hl 2140 printer that has worked for me for the past year. I put it in storage for the summer and now with the start of the new semester, I move it back to my apartment to use it of course for school. Anyway, I tried printing from it, and I can't. It says the printer is offline, even though it is turned on, all of the cable connected properly. The computer goes through the process of printing and the printer error comes up.

What I've done was to erase my printer drivers including going into the library -> printer -> and deleted the drivers, then downloaded that brother hl-2140 printer drivers for osx 10.5. Unfortunately, I get the same error message! I really need this printer to work, and would like to either buy another printer if this is not fixed asap!!! So let me know if there is a fix for this and any tips for me!
