Brother MFC-465CN wont Print after OS 10.5.7 upgrade

Question

hi all,
have just done the 10.5.7 upgrade and my printer wont print. Have reselected the printer in Systems Preferences . it then asks me to "please select driver or printer model" from a drop down menu.--There doesn't seem to be an appropriate driver listed{?] have gone to Brother site to get a driver and have installed this , but this makes no difference. I would be pleased of some suggestions about what to do next.
regards

I had the same problem and received the following email from HP support. Problem solved!
* Step 1: Resetting the printing system *
Please follow the steps provided below to reset the printing system:
1. On the Apple menu, click System Preferences.
2. On the View menu, click Print & Fax. The Print & Fax dialog box opens.
3. Right-click (or Ctrl +click) the printer in the Printers list in the left panel and click Reset printing system. ( If the printer is not listed proceed directly to the second step)
4. Click OK to confirm the reset.
5. Type the correct Name and Password.
6. Click OK to reset the printing system.
*Step 2: Repair Disk permissions*
1. Click to open Macintosh HD >> Applications > Utilities and double-click
Disk Utility.
2. On the left hand side, select the Macintosh HD directory. The directory will be indented and is usually the second entry in that list.
3. On the right side, beneath the white box, click Repair Disk Permissions. This process might take several minutes.
4. Once the process is completed, close the Disk Utility and restart the Computer.
*Step 3 : Readding the printer*
1. Click Apple Icon >> System Preferences >> Print & Fax.
2. Click the '+' button >> Add printer wizard will appear.
3. Under "Print Using", from the drop down list, click on , "Select a Driver to use'.
4. In the list of printer manufacturers, select Hewlett Packard >> Select HP Deskjet 990c printer .
5. Click Add and configure this driver to use as default and restart the Mac. You should be able to print from your Mac after this.
