If you’re seeing the dreaded “Brother Printer Driver is Unavailable” message, you’re not alone. This frustrating error has stopped countless Brother printer users from printing important documents—whether it’s an urgent office report, a school project, or even a simple shopping list.
The good news? This problem can be fixed quickly—often in minutes—with the right troubleshooting steps or professional guidance.
Your Brother printer relies on a small piece of software—called a driver—to communicate with your computer. Without the correct driver, your PC and printer simply can’t “speak the same language,” which leads to the error message you’re seeing.
This can happen for a variety of reasons:
Outdated or corrupted printer drivers
Recent Windows or Mac OS updates that aren’t compatible with your printer driver
Incomplete or failed driver installation
Damaged USB cable or unstable network connection
Incorrect printer settings
Why This Error Happens (And Why It’s So Common)
The “driver unavailable” problem is common for Brother printers—especially after major operating system updates. For example, a Windows update may replace or disable your printer driver without warning.
Similarly, if you’ve recently switched from a USB connection to Wi-Fi printing (or vice versa), your driver settings may no longer match your current setup.
How to Fix a Brother Printer Driver Unavailable Error
While some tech-savvy users can solve this on their own, many find the process confusing—especially when dealing with multiple updates, settings, and compatibility checks.
Here are the most common solutions:
1. Update Your Printer Driver
Visit the official Brother Support website.
Search for your printer model.
Download and install the latest driver for your operating system.
2. Reinstall the Driver
Open your computer’s Device Manager.
Locate your Brother printer, right-click, and uninstall it.
Restart your computer, then reinstall the correct driver.
3. Check Windows Update
Sometimes Windows will automatically find and install the correct driver.
Go to Settings → Update & Security → Windows Update → Check for updates.
4. Verify the Connection
If you’re using USB, try a different cable or port.
If you’re on Wi-Fi, ensure your printer and PC are on the same network.
5. Use Brother’s Built-In Troubleshooter
Many Brother printers have a troubleshooting feature in their settings menu.
