What to do if Brother Printer cannot print or scan over the network?
- R
  Rita PhillipsJul 26, 2025
  If your Brother printer cannot print or scan over the network, here are a few things you can try: * First, confirm the IP address and Subnet Mask are correct for both your computer and the Brother machine and that they are on the same network. If you need more information on how to verify the IP address and the Subnet Mask, ask the network administrator. * You can also use the Network Connection Repair Tool to fix the Brother machine's network settings. * Delete the failed printing job from your computer’s print queue. * Print the WLAN Report to confirm the state of a wireless connection. * As a last resort, uninstall the MFL-Pro Suite and reinstall it.

  If your Brother machine is not found on the network during the MFL-Pro Suite installation, here are some suggestions: * Confirm your settings on the installer dialog. * Allow access when the alert message of the security software appears during the MFL-Pro Suite installation. * Place your Brother machine within about 3.3 feet (1 meter) from the WLAN access point/router when you configure the wireless network settings. * Move your Brother machine to an obstruction-free area, or closer to the WLAN access point/router. * Move all the devices away from Brother machine or WLAN access point/router.
