In setting up your Brother HL-2280DW, you have to refer to the user's manual for the proper installation of the device as well as connection of the cables. Then you have to install the compatible driver software from the software CD. You can also download the driver here:

http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/us/us_ot/en/dlf/download_top.html?reg=us&c=us_ot&lang=en&prod=hl2280dw_us&SRC=

Install the driver and restart your computer. Try to print a test page.
