Install Brother Printer Software

My first printer from Brother Printer the software is easy to use especially if you on the go it's the best to work with

Brother printer ink is easy to install and lasts a long time.

I have always been an HP owner, and this is my first brother printer and I love it. So easy to install and use.

It took all day to install the software and the Brother website did not help. I kept getting error messages until I finally found a place on the internet that showed how to do it.

Nothing but greatness. Very pleased. I have a Brother HL5040, plain old printer, which is doing OK, but man o' man, I am so glad I got with the times. By the way, I quite enjoy thoroughly researching the things I buy. I installed the software on three machines. The software smoothly updates the firmware. Now, I did download the latest version instead of using the CD. The CD is marked which version it is. It could be the latest version, of course. You tell the install that you're using a CD, if it asks. Another thing is not to have other things running during the installation. I am always very good about that, except that I wasn't. I inexplicably allowed a lot of browser tabs to run during one of the installations. The installation worked, but there were three new printers showing instead of one. So, I used the uninstall found in the installed Brother Utilities, restarted, waited for the disk activity light to go dark and stay off (all my computers must have that indicator), ran CCleaner's Registry cleaner, powered off/on, waited, did the install, and it's all fine.

My problems were in getting the printer setup and printing. Specifically installing the software. I am not new to this having done IT work previously. This is obviously a new machine and that seemed to be the major problem. Plus I was hampered by slow download speeds as I have a satellite connection. First off I couldn't find this printer to load the proper software, it was the second day before I found it. I kept trying to install the software and drivers but the data was not getting to the machine, no drivers were installed. On the 4th morning I went to the support site and got a new front page which took me to the downloads for this printer. Most of this was the same methods I'd been following already but there was a difference at the end because this time all the data transferred to the machine like it was supposed to. This machine prints documents very fast and full page photos only slightly slower. The images are very sharp and clear. The photos print exactly as the original. Now that it is setup I am very pleased with this product. I think Brother specifically provided me with new software that worked. Perhaps I was among the first to try and load this software and the process had a glitch or two. So, Thanks Brother for the assistance.

I like the fact it does labels up to 1" wide and the software version is much better than the old version I had for an earlier PC compatible Brother Printer.

The printer makes very nice labels and with Brother's label software (free download) it becomes very powerful and versatile as well. Being able to use all your installed fonts as well as clip-art and photos is fantastic!

This little item is a breeze to plug in and set up. I use it directly through USB on my PC. The main thing I wanted to mention here is I did not install the Brother editing software. Printer driver yes, software, no. The application I'm using lets you choose your printer (as is normal with all apps). I then create a custom paper size that fits the restrictions of this little label maker, and after a couple tests and edits, my template is saved. After that, click and print. Oh, I'd like to mention. Its thermal. No ink. No toner. It's ready almost immediately after power up. It will shut off on its own, probably to conserve its' heater. Printed labels are quick. To sum it up, this is one of Brothers best products. One last thing. My understanding is, any Brother label products with model QL will fit this printer.

This toner works great with my Brother printer. It's very easy to install. I haven't come across any issues yet!
