Facing Problem In Printing From Brother’s Printer Using Apple AirPrint?

Most of us are able to use the AirPrint mode on brother’s printer successfully but there are few who are facing problem in printing through Apple AirPrint feature. We are going to discuss the steps to solve the problem.

1.       First of all, we would like to mention that this feature is accessible only on the iOS supported devices like iPad, iPod and iPhone with OS higher than 4.2. This can be checked by getting into the device settings. You can also refer the apple website for support and compatible OS.

2.       Check the brother printer firmware version as well. If you are using the previous version, then update it to the latest version in order to remove the bugs and issues. Click to check the firmware version from the ‘Printer main menu’.

3.       If the version of the software is earlier than 1.6  then update it at the earliest. You can download the latest firmware for your printer from the official website of Brother’s printer.

4.       The printing machine must be connected to the same network to which the iOS device is connected for accessing the AirPrint feature. If available, you can also connect both the devices together with the help of an ad-hoc connection. It must be remembered here that if you have connected your iPhone or iPad to the cellular 3G network, then you won’t print through AirPrint mode.

You can check the name of the Wi-Fi to which your devices are connected through the below-mentioned steps.

·         Go to Network configuration list from the brother machine network page.

·         Check the SSID of the network to which the printer is currently connected. Once checked, open the network list of your iOS device.

·         Check the SSID of the network from here.

·         Go to Settings followed by ‘Wi-Fi’ option.

·         Confirm that the SSID of your device is the same as brother printer’s to which it is connected.

·         Try printing now.

·         The process of printing differs according to the applications. We have considered Safari browser. If you are using any other browser, then you can contact the respective app vendor.

·         Turn on the printing machine.

·         With the help of Safari, open the page you want to print.

·         Click ‘Print’.

·         Select the brother printer from the list of printers. If it is already added, then no need to change it.

·         Click ‘Print’ and select the number of copies you want to print.

If you are still getting problem in printing then check the iOS version on the device you are using. If the apple device is not updated yet, you can contact Apple support or talk to the iOS experts.
