Brother MFC-J5520DW Printer Driver

The Brother MFC-J5520DW Printer driver helps Windows communicate with your all-in-one printer, so you can send documents to print and adjust settings such as paper size, print quality, and duplex printing. Whether you are setting up the device for the first time, reconnecting it after a Windows reinstall, or troubleshooting printing problems, choose a driver package that matches your operating system.

Key Features

• Printing controls: Access supported options for paper type, page layout, color output, and automatic two-sided printing.
• Connection support: Set up printing over USB or a supported network connection, depending on your printer configuration and the package selected.
• All-in-one functionality: A full driver and software package may include scanning tools and other utilities alongside the printer driver. Check the package description if you need more than printing.
• Windows compatibility: Select the appropriate package for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, or XP, including the correct 32-bit or 64-bit edition where applicable.

How to Install Brother MFC-J5520DW Printer Driver

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm your operating system and system type before choosing a file. For Windows 10/11 users, compatibility should be checked separately: Windows 10 is listed here, but Windows 11 support is not confirmed by this list.
2. Choose the right package. For your Brother MFC-J5520DW Printer driver download for Windows, select the latest version available for your specific OS. Use a trusted manufacturer-provided free download rather than a third-party driver updater.
3. Prepare the printer. Turn it on and make sure it is ready. For network setup, connect the printer and computer to the same network. For USB setup, follow the installer’s instructions about when to attach the cable.
4. Run the installer. Open the downloaded file, allow administrator permission if requested, and follow the prompts to install the driver. Select your connection method and the correct printer when prompted.
5. Verify the setup. Restart Windows if requested, then print a test page. If you installed scanning software, test a scan as well to confirm that both functions work.

Keep your driver updated by checking for a compatible release when printing issues arise or your Windows configuration changes. Before you update, read the package notes and confirm OS support—especially on older Windows versions, where the newest available package may not be compatible.
