Brother network printer not "visible"

I just replaced an old iMac with a new one. I have a Brother 5250DN on an ethernet, seen by the prior iMac. The new iMac can't find the printer at all. The printer is on, the driver is part of the OS, but I can't bring it up in the printer setup. Help, please!

Try Reset Printing System.

Also, look at the Brother manual for how to set up an IP printer (like LPR).

  • Westell 327W gateway does not recognize Brother network printer

    The Westell 327W gateway does not recognize Brother network printer model MFC-490CW.  Any idea?

    I took a look at the Brother www site and would recommend the following:
    Temporarily Connect the Printer to the Network with an Ethernet Cable
    Run the Brother Installer Application to reconfigure the printer for Wireless (CD That Came w/ Printer)
    You will need the Network Name (SSID) and Passcode (WEP Key) from your Router.
    Once configured you will be able to disconenct the Ethernet Cable and use it wireless.

    After hours restoring phone and resetting all my accounts and settings the Bluetooth is back on. Not sure how long this will last. In regards to AirPlay taking over, I had to drive far enough from our wifi signal to allow the Bluetooth to take back the audio. Its working for now.

  • Adding shared printers? Network printer not showing up in list

    I have a network printer not showing up in the Bonjour Printer Wizard. There is not a place to add a printer to this list. Does my network printer need to be installed under the Windows side as well, or can I share it using Bonjour? I'm confused as to how the shared printer program works. Also, my Adobe "print to pdf" option shows up as a printer, but how do I change the file destination location? It doesn't give me an option to change the "saved to" location. I am using these printers through Parallels in AutoCad, and that should be the only reason I will need to share printers. But I am in AutoCad a good deal of time, so I need to know how to quickly print my drawings.

    Welcome to the forums!
    You don't say if you installed after downloading the Printer you deleted, but I suspect it's one not showing, and that you need to reinstall.

  • Error 0x00000709 Networked printer not working in a home network with HomeGroup enabled.

    I should start by describing my network by device.
    Gateway device - Motorola SB5120 SURFboard cable modem
    Router/WAP device - Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router with 4 port Switch Model: WRT54G v4 Security: WPA2 with firewall.
    Windows 7 Ultimate Desktop with Homegroup enabled (Printer driver installed & ethernet wired)
    Windows 7 Pro Laptop set to homegroup for the Desktop (Ethernet wired and Wireless depending on the situation)
    Windows 7 Home set to homegroup for the Desktop (Wireless)
    Brother Printer Model: HL-2170W (Wireless)
    HP Printer Model: HP Officejet 6500A Plus (Wireless)
    What have I done?
    Installed drivers on 2 of the 3 computers. The final computer (Win7 Home) was added in later and works fine when connecting to the internet through the WAP. However it does not even find the printer when trying to install the driver which is a part of the
    process for driver installation for the Brother Printer.
    I had set up the printer for two of the three computers and had it working at one time however in trying to get the printer set up for the final computer I somehow have messed up those settings.
    During that setup I tried to move the printer to a networked printer (It was shared before and installed on the network with both the Desktop and the Win7Pro lappy able to print but it would not print for the new arrival to the Homenetwork. This caused
    me to seek a solution which involved installing the proper driver in the Win7Home and the discovery that the driver installer could not find the Brother printer at all which prompted the moving of the printer to a networked printer.) (The Win7Home computer does
    not find the HP printer either but that is a can of worms yet unopened.)
    I am sure there are a few things that I did not do correctly and I may have left out some additional information which you may require. If I can help clarify this question please feel free to query me. I thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

    Hi,
    May I know that are these two network printer with network adapter?  If they are installed on the network, you could add them and install the drivers  for Windows 7.
    Here is one article and two discussions can be referred to.

  • Network printer not responding

    Hello
    When I try to print from my MacBook to my Canon network printer, I get the error message "printer not responding", even the printer works fine with both windows notebooks connected to the same WLAN.
    I have a Canon MF8540Cdn printer connected with Ethernet to my router. The printer has the ip address 10.1.1.10, the gateway is 10.1.1.1 (Router IP) and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
    Then I have three notebooks, one MacBook (IP 10.1.1.101) and two windows notebooks (a HP notebook (IP 10.1.1.102) and a Lenovo notebook (IP 10.1.1.103)). All three notebooks are connected wo the same WLAN using enterprise encryption.
    The two windows notebooks can print to the canon printer perfectly fine and have not havd any issues at all.
    However, from the MacBook I can not print since the upgrade to OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks. I have the latest update from Mavericks.
    So, I deleted the printer (settings - printer) and resetted the printing system and deleted the printer also in the folder "Library - Printers". Then I got the latest driver (version 10.2) from Canon and installed the driver (dmg file).
    Next I added the printer in the in the settings  as follows:
    1. Hit the "+" buttton to add a printer
    2. Select "IP"
    3. enter the ip address of the printer (10.1.1.10)
    4. Select "Line printer daemon"
    5. The system automatically detected the printer "MF8500 Series" and filled in the location.
    6. Add the printer
    When I open the printer options now, I can see the toner levels corretly, so the MacBook must have connection to the printer.
    In addition, I can open the printer web address in Safary by going to http://10.1.1.10 , this also works fine and I can modify settings too. So the IP connection is also fine here.
    But, when I print a document, PDF, Word, Safari,..., the system firs report "connecting to the printer" and after a while it states "printer not responding"!
    The printer seems not to get any info, as it does not start or show any error message.
    However, the two windows notebooks can print fine, and I tried to print from windows, then directly after print from the MacBook, or first MacBook then windows or both allone, wait 1 hour print from MacBook, then wait one hour and print from Windows.
    The result is always the same. The windows print fine, the MacBook does not print and reports printer not responding.
    If I check the log file on the MacBook, it shows the time and the job number and then printer not responding.
    Meanwhilte I deleted the printer aleready a couple times and also reinstalled the printer driver from Canon. On the Canon cummunity I also submitted a ticket, but everybody responded that the driver works perfectly fine.
    Any idea, where the problem could be?
    Thanks for any help,
    Rolly

    Select "Line printer daemon"
    Why are you doing that? When you select the printer in the Add dialog, the driver should be entered automatically. Does that not happen?

  • Network printer not printing

    I setup my Epson Stylus C84 as a network printer in my AEBS. From my windows machine, it prints fine but not from my powerbook. I see the printer on my machine but when I send somehting to print, it wouldn't. Any pointers on how to troubleshoot?

    Thanks Henry, it worked. The mistake I did was, during the setup process in my powerbook, I missed to select "Bonjour Printers". Once I clicked, I was able to see the printer and works fine.
    Thanks for your help.

  • TS1253 Brother laser printer not responding

    My old Airport Extreme Base Station (the white flying saucer one) was acting flakey and I replaced it with a new Airport Extreme Base Station. I set up the new base station and hooked up a Brother HL-5070N laser printer to the base station with Ethernet and an Epson 3800 with USB. I deleted all the printers and replaced them with the Brother and Epson printers.
    The problem is that the Brother printer doesn't respond when I print to it. Sometimes it will print when I cycle the power off and then back on.
    I have had virtually no problems with either printer in the past. They just worked and worked.
    I am running Lion 10.7.3 and have downloaded the latest printer driver from the Brother site. The driver is the CUPS version 4.10 (I think).
    I have restarted the computer (nearly new MacBook Pro) several times with no success in curing the problem.
    A symptom with the new AEBS is that the status LED is flashing amber which is supposed to indicate that there is a problem. The Airport Utility tells me that there is a problem with the internet connection, but I am able to access the internet.
    I would be grateful for any help.
    Thanks.

    HACKINTOSH,
    Thanks for checking in on my printer problem.
    I managed to get the laser printer to work by a lot of fiddling. I had to reset the printer to it's factory defalut setting several times. Also, the AEBS flashing amber light magically changed to solid green -- I don't quite know why.
    I think the Brother laser printer is working now. I hope it stays that way.

  • Internet connection sharing, network printer: not at the same time

    Here's the setup:
    Mac+airport connected to wireless router connected via ethernet to network printer on wireless network "One".
    I want to share my internet connection via airport/"One" with my iPod Touch.
    I set up internet sharing, using "One" as the acceptable route. iPod works. Network printer doesn't.
    If I turn off sharing, network printer works, iPod (obviously) doesn't.
    How do I set it up so I can 1) print to my network AND b) share my internet connection with the iPod?
    TIA

    My Macbook Pro has the external IP given by my DSL connection, on subnet 255.255.255.0 and gateway of my ISP
    I can see the speakers in iTunes, but when I select the AE, It says its connecting, but then does nothing... after 20 secs the message disappears.
    Firewall has 5353 UDP open, no messages in the firewall log.

  • Latest update causes Brother 5250DN printer not to print on two sides

    The latest OS X v10.7 update included an update for my Brother 5250DN printer.  Now, it won't print on both sides.  After printing on one side, it actually pulls the paper back in, as if it's going to print on the other side, but it comes out blank.  It then prints a separate page with the 'other side's' contents.  It works fine with my wife's computer, since she hasn't updated the driver yet.  Any help with this would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Have a read of this posting. These Brother users found the same symptom and were able to resolve it.

  • Shared printer not visible on network

    I have an Epson WF-3520 and i originally tried connecting it directly to the internet but everytime it went to sleep the computer would no longer be able to connect to the printer and i would have to turn off the printer delete it from the computer and re-add the printer everytime i wanted to print! I gave up on that and connected it to my iMac via USB and then turned on printer sharing on the iMac. When i try to connect to the printer from my Macbook Pro it is not listed anywhere. Does anyone have a solution to either of these problems? Preferably the second as even Epson didnt know what was wrong with the first issue...
    Thanks,
    James

    Besides turning on Printer Sharing, you also have to check the box marked Share this printer on the network in the Print & Scan preference pane. If you did that, disable the built-in firewall and also all third-party firewall or security software that you may have installed.

  • Leopard: Network WiFi Printer Not Visible

    I just got a new MacBook to replace my dying PowerBook G4. Both laptops are connected via wireless network to my old Cube desktop, where my HP Deskjet 3740 is connected via USB cable. All three computers can see each other's hard drive, but the new MacBook cannot find the printer. I can't add it, and it doesn't automatically see it on the network when I tell it to look in The-Cube.local. (The Cube has an old version of OS X because the hard drive is maxed and it can't handle the new stuff. However, that never prevented the PowerBook G4 from printing.) Help!
    The Cube: Mac OS X 10.3.9 - prints fine
    MacBook: Mac OS X 10.5.1 - no printing
    PowerBook G4: Mac OS X 10.4.11 - prints fine

    Hi bjp123-
    Is the printer OSX 10.5.1 compatible?
    Have you checked HP's website for a possible updated driver?

  • Print / scan to Brother networked printer via Express

    I have a Brother MFC-5840CN networked through my router. I have been able to setup the print and scan functions pretty easily for connected computers. However...
    I am trying to use an Airport Express to connect to the network so that I can print to the Brother printer. Currently when I print, the wireless computer is not able to communicate with the printer.
    In the Airport Admin Utility I have unchecked the "Distribute IP addresses" checkbox so that the IP address appears to be on my network. I am not really sure if I am setting it up the right way. I don't know if I have to enable the DHCP on the Express and do some sort of port mapping?
    Can anyone make any suggestions?
    Maybe I am going about it all wrong, but from what I have heard if I connect the printer directly to the Express via USB I cannot scan (have information sent back to the wireless computers)? In addition I cannot connect the printers ethernet connection to the Express because then I would not be able to print from the networked (non-wireless) computers.
    I would really appreciate any help. I'm sure this will take someone with some pretty advanced networking experience.
    Thanks in advance

    From what you have described - you have done everything correctly.
    As you are aware, you cannot use the scanning function of an all-in-one printer if it is connected to the USB port of an Airport Express.
    Since you have an all-in-one printer designed for connection directly to a network, you have done the right thing by cabling the MGC-5840CN to your ethernet network.
    You have also done the right thing by cabling the Airport Express to that same network, and disabling the router built into the Airport Express by unchecking the setting to "Distribute IP addresses". NO other changes need to be made to the Express, specifically you do NOT need to implement port mapping nor do you need to enable DHCP.
    My questions:
    - after you reconfigured the Airport Express, did you restart all wireless computers?
    - what is the IP address of the wireless Mac (check in System Preferences->Network->Airport->TCP/IP tab)? Of the printer?

  • HP 7140 xi (All in one) network printer not installing properly?  Help?

    I have the 7140 setup with a fixed ip address on the network. When I install the HP drivers the setup process hangs. Every time you restart the setup program runs again. Either abort the program or try to setup and watch it hang.
    I had the same thing happen with my older G5 after a OS upgrade and had to do a driver reinstall. It would do exactly the same thing. The difference was the install software on the G5 was not the latest from HP's web rather the CD supplied with the printer. This time on the MacBook I am using the latest drivers from the web. Now on my MacBook how do I even get it to print when you cannot set it up? Could HP have an issue having two printers? I have the Laser 2300 dtn working fine also with a fixed ip address (different of course).
    Anyone else having the same issues or has solved it yet?
    MacBook Intel   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2gig RAM and 120gig HDD

    I found the following information on HP's web site.
    The address is http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bpm35033&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en& product=91463&rule=36617&lang=en
    When I applied the instructions it deleted my HP2300dtn printing but fixed the HP 7140xi (All in one) and got it working great. I will now go back and get te 2300dtn working.
    Hope this helps others.
