3) Click HL-2240 from the result.

4) Select your Windows operating system. Then Search.

5) Click Full Driver & Software Package.

6) Click Agree to the EULA and Download.\

7) When the downloading completes, double-click the driver file and go on with the on-screen instructions to install the driver on your computer. 8) Restart your computer and reconnect your HL-2240 printer with your Windows computer. Then try to print a file to see if it works.

Way 2: Update your Brother HL-2240 driver in Device Manager

Microsoft can detect the latest driver for your devices. You can let Microsoft help you detect the latest HL-2240 driver for you in Device Manager. Here’s how: 1) On your keyboard, hold down the Windows logo key  and then press R to bring up a Run box. 2) Type devmgmt.msc and press Enter.

3) Right-click the Printer queues section. And then right-click on your Brother HL-2240 printer to select Update driver.

If you see the message saying The best drivers for your device are already installed, you might have to choose other ways to update your driver.

But with the Pro version it takes just 2 clicks (and you get full support and a 30-day money back guarantee): 1) Download and install Driver Easy. 2) Run Driver Easy and click the Scan Now button. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.

Or click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system (this requires the Pro version – you’ll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All).
