Brother printer status monitor using 45 GB of application memory!
When I open the Brother print status monitor I have to close other programs. Why is the status monitor such memory hog and whaat can I do about it?
thanks

Brother iPrint&Scan is its own application you can get from the App Store. I don't know if it works with your Brother printer, but I find it often does things with the printer that fail with the standard drivers. If you are trying to print a very large image, it might eat up memory. It used to be many manufacturers for printers had their own onboard memory. Something you never see with an inkjet printer. If you have an office laser, it might still have it in an upgradeable fashion. If that's what you have I'd research that.
