The Brother MFC J5910DW Printer driver helps Windows communicate with your all-in-one printer, so applications can send documents with the correct paper size, layout, and print settings. For Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, choose a Brother driver package that explicitly matches your operating system and system type; scanning features may require additional software.

Key Features

• Adjustable print settings: Access options such as paper size, media type, orientation, and print quality to suit everyday documents or more detailed output.
• Two-sided printing controls: Configure automatic duplex printing for supported paper sizes and media, helping reduce paper use when preparing longer documents.
• USB and network connectivity: Set up communication through a USB cable or your existing wired or wireless network, depending on how the printer is connected.
• Optional scanning support: A compatible full driver and software package may include the components needed to scan from the MFC J5910DW to your PC. A print-only driver does not necessarily provide scanning functions.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Open your PC’s system information to confirm the Windows edition and system type. Select a package that lists compatibility with your setup rather than assuming a driver for another Windows release will work.

1. Download the appropriate package. Choose the Brother MFC J5910DW driver for printing, or a full driver and software package if available and you also need scanning. Review any installation notes before proceeding.

1. Prepare the printer and connection. Turn on the printer and check that it has paper and ink. For network installation, connect the printer and PC to the same local network. For USB setup, leave the cable disconnected until the installer requests it, unless the package instructions say otherwise.

1. Run the installer. Open the downloaded file, approve the Windows permission prompt if shown, and follow the setup instructions. Select the intended connection method and confirm the correct printer when it appears.

1. Verify operation. Restart Windows if requested, then print a test page from the printer settings. If you installed scanning software, try a simple scan as well. If the device is not detected, check the USB connection or network status before repeating setup.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect the USB cable until prompted, close other printer software, and run Brother’s full MFC-J5910DW installer as administrator. Remove any partial Brother install first.
• Printer not detected: For USB, use a direct rear port and a known-good cable. For Wi-Fi, confirm the printer and PC are on the same network, check the printer’s IP address, and allow Brother software through Windows Firewall.
• Driver version conflicts: Uninstall old MFC-J5910DW and Brother entries in Apps & Features, reboot, then install the latest full driver package from Brother. Avoid mixing Windows’ generic driver with Brother print/scanner drivers.
