Since you mention internet issues that your carrier fixed, I'd look at your local router. The router provides IP numbers to all the devices in your home network and if its been replaced or even reset, its likely offering up a new (and different) ip number to your printer. Try creating another printer object on your windows computer and see if windows can find the Brother connection that way. Windows won't scan for a changed IP number on a printer its already configured. If that fails, you can use the router to show you all the devices it sees on your home network and check to be certain the printer is present.

Download the driver from here http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/BSC/public/us/us/en/model_top/monolaserpri/hl5250dn_all.html?reg=us&c=us&lang=en&prod=hl5250dn_all
1. Install the driver 2. Turn off the computer 3. start the printer 4. Turn on the computer
Simply pull down the door on the front of the machine and insert paper into the manual feed tray. There is a sensor that recognises paper in the manual feed try and will then print from it.
You problem is with the fusing assembly in the rear of the machine. This series of Brother are famous for it. If you open the back door you can get access to the fusing compartment. The fusers aren't cheap though, around $100 to 125.00. Cheaper to buy them from Ebay than through a dealer (and I am a dealer) as there are folks that are just taking the machines apart for parting them out. Just make sure you go with a new fuser, not used.
