I installed a driver for the MFC-7820N on my Ubuntu MATE 18.04 machine 
and ran a test page. It worked fine. I deleted the driver from my wife's 
Win7 machine, installed a new one, (just what was offered -- I forgot to 
look for UPD. Her machine is downstairs where the printer is, so I 
wasn't looking at my email at the time). Here Win7 machine prints fine now.

Thanks to you both for the ideas.
