Brother MFC-9560CDW Driver

The Brother MFC-9560CDW driver helps Windows communicate with your color laser multifunction printer for printing and, with the appropriate scanner software, scanning. It is useful when setting up the device on a new computer, restoring missing functions after a Windows reinstall, or troubleshooting a connection problem. Although sometimes listed under camera downloads, the MFC-9560CDW is a multifunction printer, not a camera.

Key Features

• Printing controls: Access settings such as paper size, print quality, color output, and automatic two-sided printing.
• Scanning support: Compatible scanner drivers allow supported applications to receive scans from the device; a basic printer driver alone may not include this functionality.
• Connection options: Set up printing over USB or a supported wired or wireless network, depending on your installation method.
• 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 MFC-9560CDW Driver

1. Check your Windows version and system type in your computer’s system information. For Windows 10/11 systems, verify compatibility carefully: Windows 10 is listed here, but Windows 11 support is not confirmed.
2. Select the Brother MFC-9560CDW driver download for Windows that matches your operating system. Choose the latest version available for that specific OS, rather than assuming every newer package supports older Windows releases.
3. Obtain the free download from an official Brother support source. If you need both printing and scanning, check whether the selected package includes both drivers.
4. Open the downloaded installer and follow its instructions to install the software. For USB setup, connect the cable when prompted; for network setup, make sure the printer and computer can communicate on the same network.
5. Restart your computer if requested, then print a test page. If scanner software was installed, test a scan as well to confirm that both functions work.

Keep your driver updated by checking for a compatible update when you experience printing or scanning issues, or after changing your operating system. Review the package’s supported Windows versions before installing it, especially on older systems, and avoid replacing a working driver with an unverified download.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Remove any existing Brother MFC-9560CDW driver and software using Brother’s Uninstall Tool, restart Windows, then run the full driver package as administrator.
• Device not detected over network: Confirm the printer and PC are on the same subnet, set a static IP on the MFC-9560CDW, and allow Brother software through Windows Firewall. For USB, try a direct rear-port connection and a known-good cable.
• Version conflicts or scan failures after updates: Delete the old print queue and driver, download the latest full package for the exact model and Windows version, and reinstall both print and scan drivers. Avoid forcing the generic Windows driver.
