Fix Brother Printer Not Printing from iPhone

How to Troubleshoot the Issue

If your Brother printer is not printing from your iPhone, you’re not alone—this is a common issue often caused by Wi-Fi, AirPrint, or compatibility problems. Thankfully, it can usually be resolved with a few simple troubleshooting steps.

First, ensure that both your iPhone and Brother printer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. AirPrint requires that both devices are on the same connection. If your printer is using USB or connected to a different network, printing won’t work.

Next, restart your printer and iPhone, as this clears temporary glitches. Check if your Brother printer supports AirPrint; if not, you may need to download the Brother iPrint&Scan app from the App Store for wireless printing.

Make sure your printer’s firmware is up to date, as outdated software can prevent communication between the iPhone and printer. You can update it via Brother’s support website or through the printer settings if enabled.

If the issue still persists, reset the network settings on your printer and reconnect it to Wi-Fi. Also, check for any error messages, low ink, or paper issues.

Finally, go to your iPhone’s print menu and reselect the printer, as sometimes devices fail to refresh.

If none of these steps work, reset router settings or contact Brother support for advanced troubleshooting. By following these tips, you should be able to fix the issue quickly and get your Brother printer working seamlessly with your iPhone. Continue Reading
