[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1307375, member: 131855"] Not familiar with that particular printer but I have had similar problems with two Canon printers. Try the following: 1. Connect the printer with the Mac using a USB cable. 2. Go into System preferences and add the printer. You may need to download drivers from the Brother site but I doubt it. Try printing a page from the Mac just to make sure. 3. Now disconnect the USB cable and follow the steps for adding the printer wirelessly. It might help to have the router broadcast the network name (SSID). When this process is complete things should be set up properly. Although you could delete the USB driver once wireless printing is working I keep them installed. In a bind I can print by wire if wireless printing is not working. [/QUOTE]
