Why can't I print over a wired network with my Brother MFC-8460N?
If you cannot print over a wired network with your Brother All in One Printer, make sure your machine is powered on, on-line, and in Ready mode. Reconnect the LAN cable to the hub to verify that the cabling and network connections are good.
Why are printed pages curled from my Brother MFC-8460N All in One Printer?
Curled printed pages from your Brother All in One Printer could be due to low quality thin or thick paper, or not printing on the recommended side of the paper. Try turning over the stack of paper in the paper tray.
