Brother DCP-135C Driver

The Brother DCP-135C driver lets Windows communicate with your Brother all-in-one inkjet printer for printing and, with the appropriate scanner components, scanning. If you are setting up the device, reconnecting it after a Windows reinstall, or troubleshooting recognition problems, choose a driver package that matches your operating system. Although sometimes listed under Camera, the DCP-135C is a multifunction printer with scanning and copying capabilities.

Key Features

• Printer communication: Allows compatible Windows applications to send print jobs to the DCP-135C.
• Print settings: Provides access to supported options such as paper size, media type, print quality, and page layout.
• Scanning support: Compatible scanner drivers enable document and photo scanning through supported software; available features depend on the package installed.
• Windows compatibility: Driver options vary across Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, so check the package details before downloading.

How to Install Brother DCP-135C Driver

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm your operating system and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. For Windows 10/11 systems, verify compatibility carefully: Windows 11 is not included in the supported OS list provided for this device.
2. Choose the matching package. Before starting your Brother DCP-135C driver download for Windows, review the supported operating systems and included components. Select the latest version available for your specific Windows release, not simply the newest package listed.
3. Download from a trusted source. Prefer Brother’s official support resources for a free download where available. Avoid third-party installers that bundle unrelated software.
4. Run the installer. Close open applications, launch the downloaded setup file, and approve administrator permissions if prompted. Follow the instructions to install the driver, connecting the USB cable when requested.
5. Test the device. Restart Windows if instructed, then print a test page. If you installed scanner components, try a scan as well. If detection fails, check the USB connection and confirm that you selected the correct driver.

Keep your driver updated when a compatible update is available, particularly if you encounter printing or scanning issues after system changes. For an older device like the DCP-135C, a newer package may not exist for every Windows version; retain a working compatible driver rather than installing an unsupported alternative.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stops midway: Disconnect the USB cable before running the Brother installer. Run setup as administrator, and connect the DCP-135C only when prompted.
• Device not detected: Power on the printer, use a direct rear USB port instead of a hub, try another cable, and restart the Print Spooler service. Then reinstall the full Brother driver package.
• Version conflicts / scanner not working: Remove old Brother software and any duplicate DCP-135C entries in Devices and Printers, reboot, then install one complete package. If printing works but scanning fails, reinstall the Brother scanner driver/ControlCenter.
