You can compare this list with Brother’s own DCP-T420W downloads page. Therefore, pick the file by your operating system; the Full Driver & Software Package is the simplest choice on Windows.
In addition, the same Windows printer driver is listed for DCP-T220, DCP-T226, DCP-T426W, DCP-T520W, DCP-T525W, so these models share it.
About the Brother DCP-T420W
The DCP-T420W is a Brother ink tank all-in-one that prints, copies and scans in colour. It refills from ink bottles instead of cartridges and connects over USB or Wi-Fi. Brother also sells the DCP-T220 in the same family, which drops Wi-Fi. Brother's sheet sends you to your local Brother site for print speeds, so we do not quote them here. In addition, the key figures below come from Brother’s specifications page for this model.

Firmware update
Besides the drivers, Brother lists the Firmware Update Tool (version 1.32, Oct 22, 2026, 20.11 MB). Because it updates the printer itself and is not a driver, you only need it when Brother support suggests it. In that case, install the driver first.
Install the driver step by step
First, download the file for your system from the table above. Then, on Windows, double-click Y20A_C2_UW_PP-inst-K1.EXE and follow the installer. Next, connect the printer by USB cable or pick it on the network when the installer asks. Finally, print a test page to confirm that everything works. If the installer stops with an error, restart the computer and run it again, because a pending Windows update can block the installation.
On Linux, however, the easiest route is the Driver Install Tool (linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.6-1.gz): unpack it and run it as root, and it installs the matching LPR and CUPSwrapper packages for you.
For installer errors on Windows, see the driver installation guide for Windows 11 and the driver installation error guide.
