The Brother MFC 8910DW driver helps Windows communicate with your multifunction printer over a wired or wireless network. Installing the appropriate Brother package lets you send print jobs and access supported device settings, while a package that includes scanner software can also enable scanning to your PC.

Key Features

• Network printing: Connect to the Brother MFC 8910DW through your local network without needing a direct USB connection to each computer.
• Print configuration: Adjust available options such as paper size, paper source, print quality, and automatic two-sided printing from compatible Windows applications.
• Scanning support: Use network scanning when the selected download includes the necessary scanner driver and utilities. A print-only driver may not provide this functionality.
• Windows-specific setup: Choose a package appropriate for Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, checking the download’s compatibility details and system architecture before installation.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm your operating system and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. Select a Brother driver package that explicitly supports your configuration; availability and included features can differ between Windows versions.
2. Prepare the printer and network. Turn on the Brother MFC 8910DW and connect it to your router using Ethernet or configure its wireless connection. Make sure your PC can reach the printer on the same local network.
3. Download and launch the installer. Save the matching driver package, open it, and approve the Windows permission prompt if requested. Follow the setup instructions and choose a network connection when offered.
4. Select your device. Pick the printer from the detected devices. If it does not appear, verify its network connection and try entering its IP address if the installer supports that option. You can find network details through the printer’s control panel or a network configuration report.
5. Verify the installation. Finish setup, restart Windows if prompted, and print a test page from the printer settings. If you installed scanning components, test a scan as well to confirm that both functions are ready.

For an existing installation that is not working correctly, check for stalled print jobs and confirm the printer’s current network address before reinstalling the driver.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Remove any partial Brother MFC-8910DW package via Programs and Features, reboot, then run the full driver installer as administrator. Disconnect USB until prompted; for network installs, confirm the printer’s IP and that port 9100 is reachable.
• Device not detected: Check USB cable/port or network connection. On the MFC-8910DW control panel, print the network configuration page and verify IP; add the printer manually using a Standard TCP/IP port if discovery fails.
• Version conflicts / wrong driver: Uninstall old Brother or generic Windows drivers, then install the current MFC-8910DW full driver package. Avoid mixing scan and print drivers from different versions; reboot before reinstalling.
