Brother DCP-390CN Driver

The Brother DCP-390CN driver lets Windows communicate with your all-in-one inkjet printer so you can print documents and use its scanning functions with the appropriate software. It is useful when setting up the device for the first time, reinstalling Windows, or troubleshooting a printer or scanner that is not being detected.

Key Features

• Printing support: Provides access to print settings such as paper size, media type, orientation, and quality.
• Scanning support: A compatible scanner driver allows supported applications to receive scans from the DCP-390CN.
• Connection options: Supports communication through USB or the printer’s wired Ethernet connection when the correct package and network settings are used.
• Windows compatibility: Choose a package intended for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, or XP, matching your system’s 32-bit or 64-bit architecture where applicable.

How to Install Brother DCP-390CN Driver

1. Check your Windows version and system type in your computer’s system information. If you are comparing Windows 10/11 compatibility, do not assume a Windows 10 package officially supports Windows 11.
2. Select the appropriate Brother DCP-390CN driver download for Windows. Choose the latest version available for your specific operating system, and check whether the package includes printing, scanning, or both. Use a trusted source offering a free download without third-party installer bundles.
3. Turn on the device. For Ethernet setup, connect it to the same local network as your computer. For USB setup, wait to connect the cable until the installer requests it.
4. Open the downloaded installer and follow the prompts. Select the connection type and allow the setup program to install the required components.
5. Restart Windows if prompted, then print a test page and try a scan. If detection fails, check the cable or network connection before repeating setup.

Keep your driver updated by checking for a compatible update when printing or scanning problems arise, or after a Windows change. Review compatibility notes before replacing a working installation: the newest package is only useful if it supports your device and operating system.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect the USB cable until the Brother installer prompts for it. Run setup as administrator, remove any existing DCP-390CN entries in Programs and Features, reboot, then reinstall.
• Device not detected: Use a known-good USB 2.0 cable directly into the PC, not a hub. Power-cycle the DCP-390CN and check Device Manager for unknown devices. If printing works but scanning does not, reinstall the scanner/WIA driver.
• Driver/version conflicts: Uninstall older Brother drivers and Status Monitor before installing the current Windows package. Match 32/64-bit, reboot after removal, and avoid mixing old and new Brother software.
