The Brother MFC J875DW driver helps Windows communicate with your all-in-one printer so you can send documents to print and adjust settings from your computer. Installing the appropriate Brother software can also enable scanning features, depending on the package you choose. Select a download that matches your version of Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7 and your system architecture.

Key Features

• Print settings access: Choose paper size, media type, print quality, and color options to suit everyday documents, photos, or presentations.
• Duplex printing controls: Access the printer’s automatic two-sided printing options for compatible paper types, helping reduce paper use.
• Scanning support: A package that includes the scanner driver allows compatible Windows applications to receive scans from the Brother MFC J875DW.
• Connection setup: Configure communication over USB or a supported network connection, with available setup options depending on the selected software package.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Open your computer’s system information to confirm the operating system and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. Choose a Brother driver package that explicitly supports your configuration.
2. Prepare the printer. Turn on the MFC J875DW and clear any errors shown on its display. For a network installation, connect the printer and computer to the same local network. For USB setup, wait to connect the cable until the installer requests it.
3. Download and launch the installer. Save the matching driver package, extract it if necessary, and run the setup program. Approve the Windows permission prompt if it appears.
4. Select your connection method. Follow the on-screen instructions, choose USB or network setup, and select your printer when it is detected. If you need scanning, install the scanner components when offered.
5. Verify the installation. Print a test page from Windows printer settings and check that paper and quality preferences are correct. If you installed scanning software, try a simple scan as well. Restart the computer if the installer asks you to.

If the printer is not detected, check the USB cable or network connection before repeating setup. An older Windows driver should not be assumed compatible with a newer release; review the package’s supported operating systems before installing it.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect the USB cable, uninstall any existing Brother MFC-J875DW software, reboot, then run the full driver package as administrator. Temporarily disable antivirus if it blocks the installer.
• Printer not detected: For USB, try a different port/cable and power-cycle the MFC-J875DW. For Wi‑Fi, confirm the printer and PC are on the same 2.4 GHz network, then add it by IP address via “Add a printer using TCP/IP.”
• Driver/version conflicts or duplicate queues: Remove old MFC-J875DW print queues and drivers in Print Server Properties, restart the Print Spooler service, and install the latest Brother full driver package so print and scan drivers match.
