DCP-167C Driver

The Brother DCP-167C driver connects your Windows computer to the DCP-167C multifunction inkjet printer, enabling printing and scanning through compatible software. It is useful when setting up the device for the first time, reinstalling Windows, or troubleshooting a connection problem. Although sometimes listed under Camera, this model is a printer and scanner, so choose a driver that matches the actual device.

Key Features

• Printing support: Lets compatible Windows applications send documents and images to the Brother DCP-167C.
• Print settings: Provides access to available options such as paper size, media type, and print quality.
• Scanning support: A compatible scanner driver allows scanning applications to communicate with the device; package contents may vary.
• Windows compatibility: Driver options cover Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, depending on the package and system architecture.

How to Install DCP-167C Driver

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm your operating system and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit before choosing a DCP-167C driver download for Windows.
2. Select the correct package. Look for the latest version compatible with your system. If comparing Windows 10/11 options, do not assume a Windows 10 package supports Windows 11; confirm compatibility with Brother.
3. Download from a trusted source. Prefer the manufacturer’s free download when available, and check that the package explicitly identifies your model and operating system.
4. Run the installer. Open the downloaded file, approve any administrator prompt, and follow the instructions to install the driver. Connect the printer’s USB cable when prompted.
5. Test the device. Restart Windows if requested, then print a test page. If you also need scanning, check that the required scanner software is installed and try a sample scan.

Keep your driver updated by checking for a compatible update when printing or scanning issues arise, or after changes to Windows. Use the newest supported release for your configuration rather than an unrelated package advertised as newer, and retain a working installer for future reinstalls.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect the DCP-167C USB cable, run the Brother full driver package as administrator, and temporarily pause antivirus. Remove any previous DCP-167C software/driver, reboot, then retry.
• Device not detected: Power on the DCP-167C, connect USB directly to the PC (no hub), try another USB port/cable, and check for error lights. Remove stale DCP-167C entries in Devices and Printers, then reconnect.
• Version conflicts/duplicate queues: Uninstall old DCP-167C printer and scanner drivers via Apps & Features or Brother’s uninstall tool, restart, then install one full package matching Windows 32/64-bit. Don’t mix older and newer driver versions.
