    Why my computer cannot find Brother Print Server?
    • A
      Amber BaileyAug 28, 2025
      Your computer might not be able to find the Brother print server because the Firewall setting on your PC may be rejecting the necessary network connection. To resolve this, disable the Firewall on your computer and reinstall the drivers.

    What to do if Brother Print Server is not found during setup?
    • A
      Angela TorresAug 30, 2025
      One possible reason for the Brother print server not being found during network print software setup is that the printer may not be powered on or online and ready to print. Make sure that the printer is powered on, is online, and ready to print. Another reason might be the Firewall on your computer blocking the connection, so disable the Firewall and reinstall the drivers. Also, ensure you've configured the IP address settings of the Brother print server before installing the network print software or printer driver. Print the Printer Settings Page to verify the IP address settings are correct for your network. If the issue persists, reset the print server to the default factory settings and try the initial setup again.
