Brother MFC-790CW Printer Driver

The Brother MFC-790CW Printer driver allows Windows to communicate with your Brother all-in-one printer, enabling you to send documents and adjust printing preferences. It is useful when setting up the printer for the first time, reconnecting it after a Windows reinstall, or troubleshooting a missing or unresponsive printer.

Choose your Brother MFC-790CW Printer driver download for Windows according to your operating system and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. Supported systems listed for this device are Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP; package availability and included utilities may vary. If you are comparing Windows 10/11 compatibility, do not assume a Windows 10 package supports Windows 11—check Brother’s compatibility guidance first.

Key Features

• Printer communication: Provides the software interface Windows needs to send print jobs to the MFC-790CW.
• Printing preferences: Gives access to supported settings such as paper size, media type, print quality, and color output.
• Connection setup: Helps configure printing over a supported USB or network connection, depending on the package selected.
• Optional all-in-one tools: A full software package may include scanning components and maintenance utilities alongside the printer driver. Check the package description if you also need scanner support.

How to Install Brother MFC-790CW Printer Driver

1. Confirm your Windows version. Check your system information for the Windows edition and 32-bit or 64-bit system type before choosing a package.
2. Select the appropriate download. Look for the latest version available for your exact operating system. Use an official Brother source for a free download, and review the package details.
3. Prepare the printer. Turn on the MFC-790CW. For network setup, connect it to the same local network as your computer. For USB setup, follow the installer’s instructions on when to connect the cable.
4. Run the installer. Open the downloaded file, allow any required administrator permissions, and follow the prompts to install the driver and select your connection type.
5. Check the result. Restart Windows if requested, then print a test page. If you installed scanning software, test that function separately.

Keep your driver updated by checking for a compatible update when printing problems arise or after significant Windows changes. For this older model, the latest version may still be an older release; prioritize a package explicitly matched to your system rather than assuming the newest download is suitable.
