Brother HL-2220 series Driver

The Brother HL-2220 series driver lets Windows communicate with your Brother monochrome laser printer, so documents reach the printer with the correct print settings. You need it when setting up the printer for the first time, reinstalling Windows, or troubleshooting a missing printer or failed print jobs.

Key Features

• Printer communication: Enables compatible Windows systems to send print jobs to the Brother HL-2220 series printer over its USB connection.
• Print settings: Provides access to supported options such as paper size, orientation, resolution, and multiple-page layouts.
• Everyday document printing: Supports output from Windows applications for letters, reports, invoices, and other black-and-white documents.
• System-specific support: Offers a driver setup for supported editions of Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, provided you select the matching package and system architecture.

How to Install Brother HL-2220 series Driver

1. Check your Windows version. Identify your operating system and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. If comparing Windows 10/11 compatibility, note that Windows 11 is not included in the supported OS list here; verify support with Brother before proceeding.
2. Choose the correct package. For your Brother HL-2220 series driver download for Windows, select the latest version available for your specific operating system—not simply the newest package overall. Use a trusted source for the free download and confirm that the package names your printer model.
3. Prepare the printer. Turn the printer on and close unnecessary applications. If the installer requires a disconnected USB cable at the start, wait until prompted before connecting it.
4. Run the installer. Open the downloaded file, extract it if necessary, and follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver. Allow administrator access only after verifying the installer’s source.
5. Confirm the installation. Restart Windows if requested, then open your printer settings and print a test page. If printing fails, check the USB connection and make sure the correct printer is selected.

Keep your driver updated when Brother provides a compatible release that addresses your needs. An update may resolve printing issues or improve compatibility, but older Windows versions may no longer receive new releases. If the printer works reliably, review the release notes before replacing your current driver.
