Brother MFC-9560CDW LAN Driver

The Brother MFC-9560CDW LAN driver helps Windows communicate with your Brother color laser multifunction printer over a local network. It is useful when setting up network printing on a new computer, restoring a missing printer connection, or replacing an incompatible driver. Despite sometimes appearing under a Camera category, this model is a multifunction printer, not a camera.

Key Features

• Network printing support: Connects Windows applications to the printer through your local network, allowing computers to use the device without a direct USB connection.
• Printer settings access: Provides controls for supported options such as paper size, print quality, color output, and two-sided printing.
• Legacy Windows compatibility: Driver packages are available for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP; select the package that matches your operating system and architecture.
• Package-dependent functionality: A printer driver handles printing, while network scanning may require a separate scanner driver or a full software package.

How to Install Brother MFC-9560CDW LAN Driver

1. Check your Windows version and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. For Windows 10/11 systems, note that Windows 10 is listed as supported here; Windows 11 compatibility should be verified with Brother before installation.
2. Choose a Brother MFC-9560CDW LAN driver download for Windows that matches your system. Select the latest version compatible with your operating system, rather than assuming the newest package supports every Windows release.
3. Obtain the driver as a free download from Brother’s official support resources. Check the model name and package description, especially if you also need scanning software.
4. Turn on the printer and confirm that it and your computer are connected to the same local network. Run the downloaded installer, choose the network connection option if prompted, and follow the instructions to install the driver.
5. Select the detected printer and complete setup. If it is not found, check its network connection and use its IP address if the installer offers that option. Print a test page to confirm communication.

Keep the driver updated when Brother provides a compatible update that addresses an issue or improves support for your system. Before changing drivers, review the release notes and retain a working installer if possible, particularly on older Windows versions. A driver update may resolve software-related problems, but network connectivity issues should be checked separately.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Run the Brother installer as administrator, temporarily disable antivirus/firewall, and remove previous Brother/MFC-9560CDW driver packages via Print Management before retrying.
• Printer not detected on LAN: Confirm the MFC-9560CDW has a valid IP address, is on the same subnet as the PC, and responds to ping. Add it by IP using a Brother TCP/IP port, not auto-discovery, and allow port 9100 through Windows Firewall.
• Version conflicts/duplicate queues: Uninstall old MFC-9560CDW entries in Devices and Printers, delete leftover driver packages in Print Management, reboot, then install the latest Brother LAN driver. Avoid mixing WIA/scanner and print drivers from different versions.
