Network printers do not have a set IP address, you need to configure the printer with an IP address that uses the same range of IP addresses as your network. The IP configuration is normally done through the printer's Menu on the printer's buttons. If your are using a network IP range 192.168.0.*** that your wireless router issues automatically then select a fixed IP address on your printer above the number of computers that is installed on your network. (ie if you have 10 computers the make the printer's fixed IP address say 192.168.0.30) so the wireless router cannot issue a conflicting IP address. When you install the printer driver on each computer then go to the Printer Properties - Port tab - click Add Port - IP port and enter the printer's fixed IP address and printer name. Do a test print to check if your computer connects to the network printer.
1. Go to the following link on a pc that has internet connection: http://www.brother.com/html/download/index.htm 2. Click on the "Printers/Fax Machines/DCPs/Multi Functions" link below the region closest to you. 3. On the next page, if your asked, Select your country and preferred Language. 4. In the "Search by Model" section enter your Model No "MFC-7220" without quotes and click search. 5. Click on the search result displaying your model no MFC-7220. 5. Click on "Downloads" (top option) 6. Select you Operating System (ex. Windows7) and Language from the lists. Click Search. 7. Click on the "Information & Download" link next to your preferred download. I suggest using the "Full Driver & Software Package" download since this will probably have all the bells and whistles for the Printer included in one easy download :) 8.Click the Download button at the bottom of the next page & then Accept the terms & conditions on the next page. 9. The Download should start once you accept the t&c's 10. Once downloaded, copy the Installation File that was downloaded onto a Flash Disk for easy access on the PC where you need to install the Printer :)
You can download the printer software from this link that you can use in installing the printer to your computer.<br /><br /><a href="http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/us/us/en/dlf/download_top.html?reg=us&c=us&lang=en&prod=mfc7220_us_as">http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/us/us/en/dlf/download_top.html?reg=us&c=us&lang=en&prod=mfc7220_us_as</a><br /><br />

Updated the Brother original driver(Full Driver & Software Package) for the following products to fix a driver installation problem:
FAX-2820, FAX-2920, DCP-7020, DCP-8060, DCP-8065DN, MFC-7220, MFC-7225N, MFC-7420 ,MFC-7820N, MFC-8460N, MFC-8660DN, MFC-8860DN, MFC-8870DW, MFC-9420C
And here is the link of the updated full driver and software package. After you download this, you should be able to run the MFC 7820 with your new laptop=)
there a various drivers from brother, download the full software and driver package, it is executable, the others are designed to be used when windows searchs for a driver and you tell it that you "have disc" and point to location of download files.
Before installing it is best to delete previous installs unplu usb, download full package then run it, plug in usb when system promps. use brothers web for driver download.
Are you using vista or xp?, download correct version of full driver and software package from brother web and reinstall after unistalling previous attemps (there is uninstall tool on brothers web as well)
Disconnect printer untill software asks to connect.
see you can skip this stage or what you can do is see in device manager is the printer is listed in that if it is ther just remove it and then run your setup
