Brother MFC-660CN Driver

The Brother MFC-660CN driver connects your Brother multifunction printer to Windows so compatible software can access its printing and scanning functions. If you are setting up the device, reinstalling Windows, or troubleshooting a connection problem, installing the correct driver is an important first step.

Key Features

• Printing support: Lets Windows send print jobs to the MFC-660CN and provides access to settings such as paper size, orientation, and print quality.
• Scanning access: A compatible scanner driver allows supported applications to receive scans from the device. Some downloads may include only the printer driver, so check the package contents.
• Connection options: Supports communication through the connection type covered by the selected package, such as USB or a wired network.
• Windows compatibility: Driver options vary across Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP. Match the download to your exact Windows version and, where applicable, its 32-bit or 64-bit architecture.

How to Install Brother MFC-660CN Driver

1. Check your system. Confirm your Windows version and system type in Windows settings or system information. For Windows 10/11 systems, verify compatibility carefully: Windows 11 is not included in the supported OS list provided for this device.
2. Select the appropriate package. For a Brother MFC-660CN driver download for Windows, choose a package that explicitly lists your operating system and required functions. The latest version available for your OS may differ from packages for other Windows releases.
3. Download safely. Use a trusted source for the free download, and check that the device model matches MFC-660CN. Avoid unrelated download managers or tools that require payment to unlock a driver.
4. Run the installer. Open the downloaded package and follow its instructions to install the driver. Connect the USB cable when prompted, or ensure the printer and computer are on the same network for wired network setup.
5. Test the device. Restart Windows if requested, then print a test page. If you installed scanning support, try a scan from a compatible application as well.

Check periodically for a compatible driver update, especially after Windows changes or if printing or scanning stops working. Keep a working installer as a backup, and prioritize confirmed compatibility over a newer package intended for another model or operating system.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect the MFC-660CN USB cable, remove existing Brother MFC-660CN entries in Printers & scanners, restart the PC, then run the full Brother driver package as administrator. Temporarily disable antivirus and keep the printer powered on.
• Device not detected: Use a direct USB port, not a hub, or verify the Ethernet connection. Power-cycle the MFC-660CN, restart the Print Spooler service, then use Add a printer/Add device in Windows. Try another cable or port if needed.
• Driver version conflicts: Uninstall older Brother or generic Windows drivers, including duplicate MFC-660CN queues, using Brother’s uninstall tool. Reboot, then install one full package; the generic driver may print but can miss scan/fax functions.
