Brother manufactures a series of MFC
printers that has the functionality of a printer, copier, and scanner in one
device. You can use these printers with both Windows and Max OS X; however,
your computer can’t correctly detect the printer after making the connection
unless you have the right software installed. When you purchase a Brother
printer, it comes with a driver installation disc that lets you install
necessary programs. Though the installation process is simple, yet, if you face
any trouble, you can get the solution by ringing a bell on the Brother
Customer service number. To install the Brother MFC driver correctly,
follow these ways:
