The Brother MFC J5910DW Printer driver lets Windows communicate with your all-in-one printer so you can send documents to print and adjust output settings. Choosing a compatible Brother driver helps you access the printer’s supported functions rather than relying only on basic printing options.

Key Features

• Print settings control: Adjust paper size, media type, print quality, and orientation to suit everyday documents, photos, or larger-format work.
• Automatic two-sided printing: Access duplex settings for supported paper sizes and media to reduce paper use when printing multipage documents.
• Connection support: Set up printing through USB or over a wired or wireless network, depending on the driver package and your printer configuration.
• Additional all-in-one functions: A full software package may include scanner drivers and utilities for scanning documents to your computer. A print-only driver does not necessarily provide these tools.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm whether your computer runs Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and check its system type where applicable. Select a package explicitly listed as compatible with your operating system; available features and utilities can vary between versions.
2. Download the appropriate driver. Choose the Brother MFC J5910DW package that matches your system and needs. Use the full driver and software package if available and you need scanning support as well as printing.
3. Prepare the printer connection. Turn on the printer and load paper. For a network installation, make sure the printer and computer can communicate on the same network. For USB setup, leave the cable disconnected until the installer asks you to connect it.
4. Run the installer. Open the downloaded file, approve the Windows permission prompt if requested, and follow the on-screen instructions. Select your connection type and choose the correct printer when prompted.
5. Confirm operation. Restart Windows if the installer requests it, then print a test page from Windows printer settings. If you installed scanning software, test a scan separately to confirm that function is ready.

If the printer is not detected, check the USB cable or network connection before reinstalling. On Windows 11 especially, verify the package’s stated compatibility rather than assuming a driver intended for an older Windows release will work.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect the USB cable until the Brother installer prompts for it, run the setup as administrator, and use the full driver package rather than a basic Windows Update driver. Temporarily pause antivirus if it blocks the installer.
• Printer not detected: For USB, connect directly to a rear port, not a hub. For wireless, print the network configuration page, confirm the PC and MFC-J5910DW are on the same 2.4 GHz network/subnet, and reserve the printer’s IP in your router.
• Driver version conflicts or duplicate queues: Remove old Brother MFC-J5910DW entries in Print Management or with Brother’s Deinstallation Tool, reboot, then install the latest full driver package. Delete stale USB/network printer queues before reconnecting.
