Brother DCP-560CN Driver

The Brother DCP-560CN driver helps Windows communicate with your Brother all-in-one inkjet printer so you can print and scan from your computer. Despite sometimes being listed under “Camera,” the DCP-560CN is a multifunction printer, not a camera. This driver is useful when setting up the device, reconnecting it after a Windows reinstall, or troubleshooting missing printing or scanning functions.

Key Features

• Printing support: Enables communication between Windows and the DCP-560CN, with access to settings such as paper size, print quality, and color options.
• Scanning functionality: A compatible scanner driver lets supported software receive scans from the device; available tools depend on the package you choose.
• Connection options: Supports use over USB or Ethernet when the appropriate driver and connection settings are configured.
• Windows-specific packages: Driver options cover Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP. Choose the package that matches your system and check whether it requires a 32-bit or 64-bit edition.

How to Install Brother DCP-560CN Driver

1. Check your Windows version. Open your system information to confirm the Windows edition and architecture. For Windows 10/11 computers, check compatibility carefully: Windows 10 is listed here, but Windows 11 support should not be assumed.
2. Select a suitable package. Before starting your Brother DCP-560CN driver download for Windows, review the package description for printing, scanning, and connection support. Choose the latest version available for your specific operating system, not simply the newest package overall.
3. Download from a trusted source. Prefer Brother’s official support resources for a free download. Avoid installers that require payment or bundle unrelated software.
4. Run the installer. Close open applications, launch the downloaded file, and follow the prompts to install the driver. For USB setup, connect the cable when instructed; for Ethernet setup, make sure the printer and computer are on the same network.
5. Test the setup. Restart Windows if requested, print a test page, and try a scan if you installed scanner support. If detection fails, check the cable, network connection, and selected printer.

Keep your driver updated when a compatible release addresses a problem or restores functionality after a system change. Before any update, confirm that it supports the DCP-560CN and your Windows version; a working older driver may remain the right choice for this legacy device.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect the USB cable until the Brother installer asks for it, run setup as administrator, and temporarily pause antivirus. Confirm the driver matches your Windows version and 32/64-bit edition.
• Printer not detected: Power the DCP-560CN on, connect directly to a USB port (not a hub), try another cable/port, and check Device Manager for unknown devices. Unplug/replug after reinstalling.
• Version conflicts: Remove existing Brother DCP-560CN printer/scanner drivers and software first, restart, then install the full package for your exact Windows version. Don’t mix the Windows generic driver with Brother’s driver.
