You have several options to do this:

- If you have spare PC, you may copy the content of the CD to a USB disk and install from the USB disk on the laptop
- Or you may just insert the CD on another computer on the network and share the CD-ROM drive by going to My Computer-Right Click on the CD Drive and click share. Now on your laptop go to My Network Places (usually on Control Panel) where you can see the shared CD drive from your other machine.
- Or if your laptop has internet access, visit Brother website and type your printer model to download the driver installer on your laptop machine.

Good luck and hope this helps.

Well , if you are on internet , check your signal should be Good at least ,
or if you are on network Group like on offices and companies , check your hub connection
and the most importand is to check the connection wire of the net

Dont bother your self, just reinstall the printer again and let me no when done
