I have the same problem but with the MFC-490CW. It won't install under windows 7. USB works but not wifi.
what worked for me with my MFC 5440CN was to use "Add a Printer" in "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Devices and Printers", "Add a Network, Wireless or ... Printer...", skip the scanning and directly input to add a printer using the IP, once asked to choose the driver, I choose the "Windows Update" option, and after waiting 15 minutes or so, the list was loaded and their was a "Brother MFC-5440CN USB" driver their, I took a chance and used it since their was no network driver, and it worked !
the only thing I'm now working through is the scanner...
hopes this helps ;)

I have a Brother MFC-4350 I'm trying to get to work on a new Vista 64 bit machine. I have a USB to parallel adapter, but Brother no longer supports the MFC-4350. One thought I had is upgrade to Windows 7, then try their XP virtual machine emulator (free download). My current workaround is to use the old XP machine as a print server. According to Micro$oft the MFC-4350 is 64 bit compatible but as usual they lie.
When I go to buy another printer, Brother will NOT be on the short list!
