What to do if my Brother Printer cannot detect wireless access point?
- R
  Richard BrownJul 26, 2025
  If your Brother Printer can't detect the wireless access point, consider these points: Ensure the wireless access point/router is powered on. Move the printer to a location without obstructions or closer to the wireless access point/router; for initial configuration, position it within one meter of the access point. If your wireless access point/router uses MAC address filtering, verify that the Brother printer's MAC address is permitted. If you manually input the SSID and security details (SSID/authentication method/encryption method/Network Key), double-check their accuracy and re-enter if necessary.

Why does my Brother DCP-J132W Printer only print B&W and say replace ink?

  If your Brother Printer only prints in black and white and indicates 'Replace XX Ink', it means one or more of the color ink cartridges have reached the end of their life. Replace the indicated ink cartridges.

What to do if my Brother DCP-J132W Printer cannot detect ink cartridge?

  Katie OwensAug 11, 2025
  If your Brother Printer cannot detect the ink cartridge, there are a few potential reasons. First, you may have installed the new ink cartridge too quickly. Try taking out the new ink cartridge and re-install it slowly and firmly until the cartridge lever lifts. Second, ensure the ink cartridge is installed correctly. Finally, if you are using non-Brother Original ink, the machine may not detect the ink cartridge. Replace the cartridge with a Brother Original ink cartridge, and if the error message remains, there may be a deeper problem.
