I brought this printer today, pretty stink it doesn't include a cable with it of which I didn't realise until I got the printer home and opened everything. From reading most questions, it proves that the manual instructions are not easy for the average person who is not tech savvy to understand and follow. I myself am slowly setting this thing up of which I may give up soon and get my grand child to do because it's frustrating haha.
Did you use a print cable to install the driver? then you can retro connect to wifi once the printer driver is already in your OS. you will need to enable WPS in 2.4Ghz in your router as well
Hi, you will need a printer cable to install the printer then connect to the wifi. I've done both wireless and wired but wired is less painful. Good luck!
Hi I have a question. As I changed my Wi-Fi I can´t connect the printer to my new Wi-Fi as I think it is still "connected" to the other Wi-Fi. Do you know how to disconnect my printer from the other Wi-Fi so that I can connect it to the new?
Hi, so the light on the printer which is constarnly green for you is flashing in mine. What does that mean? First time using a printer, without a mannual, this is so confusing
@@anythingreviewwithrhian thank you so much! I did try that but something sparked inside the printer so now I ain't gonna touch it. Thank you for your help though!
I have just bought this printer and I can’t get it to print from my iPhone. You mention a printer cable I didn’t get one in the box but it did come with a cd rom but I have nowhere to put it in. I’ve been onto brother support but still no joy. Any suggestions
@@anythingreviewwithrhian I do not have anything other than an iPhone to connect to this printer. The printer is chucking out pages of printing one sheet does say ‘connected’. When I try to print from my iPhone iPrint&Scan says no air printers found!
Oh sorry, did not think you are using iPhone to print. Did you download the app? If so you will need to save your files to your folder in iphone then from the brother app pick the file up then print. There is no direct printing in iOS.
@@anythingreviewwithrhian well I’m sorry this is lost on me. For instance if the printer has printed pages (nothing from me) saying connected does that mean the printer is connected to my WiFi. I’m stuck at understanding if the printer is connected to WiFi. Think I need to knock on the door of a neighbour who has a young child to come and help me. Kids today are experts!
I have installed the printer and it is able to print when cable connected to my laptop. Mobile printing is also done and printer is connected to WiFi network. My question is: How come I cannot print from laptop without the cable connected to printer? I thought should be able to print from laptop wirelessly too. Would you know? Thanks.
Hi, i dont think that will work as the printer needs an IP address therefore needs a router. what you can try is use a pocket wifi. let us know how you go
The ink tank system appears to be much better than the cartridge system th-cam.com/users/postUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 and a lot cheaper to run. The machine was easy to set up. A small point but I thought they'd be a USB cable included to help with the set up but there was none. I've been using it now for a few weeks and it seems like a good product and superior to my previous printers which were all troublesome HP machines.
hi can you help me how to use this printer why my printer is red light flashing and my modem wifi is 2.4 ghz is't can be use please help me.I'm also had installed the apps but it can't connect to my wifi how I must do to set up the printer to connect my wifi
I am able to connect printer to wifi and got test connection OK printout. When i select the device from iBrother Print&Scan app, this printer device is not visible. Do I need the cable to setup driver in computer first to start taking printout from iBrother Print&Scan app?
I buy for this model and install the drive accordingly. However. I have facing printer can't communicate via WiFi. What the issue? Can you explain further. FYI. From PC I can print.
hi, your wifi must have a 2.5ghz signal this is the only way the printer can communicate via wifi.. install via cable then select wifi option. remove cable then connect your pc to the modem the print. also go to control panel, printers, check if you can see the printer from PC with no cable attached
It’s not easy…a cable didn’t come with this PLUS a CD came with it BUT I have NO WAY to use it for this iPad….I’m mad as hell about this….do I have to spend more money to get this to work?

Install first with the cable.. then press WPS on your router.. make sure your PC/Laptop is connected to 2.4Ghz.. then reinstall using wireless option while using the cable. Press the wifi button on your printer.. follow instructions
