Can't install the Brother printer.

I am trying to install the Brother printer MFC-7440N, and erro message popup every time: Can't install the software for the Brother MFC-7440N because it is not currently available from the software update server. please help!

Here are the currently supported AirPrint printers:
AirPrint basics
Note your printer is not on the list.  So you will have to visit the Brother website to get its drivers and firmware.
Hope this helps.

  • Can`t install my brother printer model mfc-j5910, the printer will not apear in the menu and I did more than twice an update. please help

    Hi there,
    try to reinstall my Brother Printer after the Maverics update, but it seems it is not longer possible. I loaded tons of software from Brother and Apple support and run the installatin, but the printer will not apear in the printer menu.
    Before the update the printer worked fine via WLan and yes both are in the same network. With my second Notebook it works just as fine, can`t figure out what is wrong.
    I need my printer for daily work, please help me out
    best regards

  • How can I install the pdf printer when Win 7 doesn't offer the choice?

    Hi,
    I have Acrobat 8.0 Pro, and in XP I used to have an Adobe pdf printer in my printer's dropdown list, so that it was possible to convert anything in any application into a pdf document.
    Now I had to change the system, and I try to install a pdf printer. The Acrobat help simply says "in devices and printers chose the pdf printer". Yes, would be easyif it were at choice. But it isn't.
    I assume there must be a driver missing. Does anybody know anything about the what and where?
    Thanks for your help.

    AA8 works on VISTA and several folks have reported it working on 32-bit Win7 (I have only heard of 2 getting it to work on the 64-bit system). Adobe does not support AA8 beyond VISTA (actually they won't give much support on AA8 for anything anymore). If you were successful in the Win7 installation and Acrobat and Distiller both open, then there is a chance you will be able to get things taken care of. As I understand it, you can open Acrobat, but the updates in the help menu do not respond. In that case go to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and download the updates for manual installation. If you start with the most current update, it will tell you on the download page the previous update that is required. That way you can go back through the updates and install the needed ones in order. Reboot after the last update only.

  • How do i install a brother printer on macbook

    How can i install a Brother Printer on a MacBook
    I do not know the IP address of the printer
    i have tried installing the Brother software but nothing seems to work

    Most Brother printers use Bonjour to advertise themselves to the subnet.
    So, you don't generally need to hardcode your printer's IP address.
    You can if you want to, though.
    When you installed the Brother software, what specifically did you install?
    Something off a CD, something you downloaded, what?  Is it on Lion or SL?
    Where is your MacBook relative to your printer, network-wise?

  • Hi I would be grateful if someone can help me, I have just bought a canon wireless printer, I only have an iPad so I can not install the cd that comes with the new printer yet it says it is compatible. How do I get it working I have a pay as you go 3G sim

    I do not use the Internet using wifi I use 3G mobile broadband and if I do need wifi it tells me I have to pay for it, but I can not work out how to install or connect my iPad with my new printer if there is not a cd slot or USB port. I only have an iPad no computer so how on earth do I use my printer with it if it I can't install the printer cd. I though I would be able to use Bluetooth and it would pick it up automatically but I am really confused now and don't know what to do please help.

    The iPad uses AirPrint technology to print to a printer. Check this Apple support page to see if your printer is listed as being AirPrint compatible.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    If your printer works with AirPrint you will need a Wi-Fi network in order to connect. That Wi-Fi network does not need to be connected to the Internet. As James Ward4 says, you'll need a Wi-Fi router to set up your network. Most routers require that a computer be used during the setup process. Perhaps you could use someone's computer to do the setup if you do not had one yourself. Once the router is set up you should be able to print.

  • I can't print my calendar, and I can't install the new Iphoto??

    I can't print my calendar, I need to update my Iphoto. But I can't install the new Mac OS, I have the version 10.6.8 and my macbook is too old to deal my the latest one. What can I do to print my calendar If I can't install the new version of Iphoto?
    Please help me!
    Steve

    My calendar is done in IPhoto, it's a project you can get done in Iphoto and It's printed by apple and ship to your door. Useful, but not anymore because that's the message I received one I send when I buy the calendar.
    "We apologize for the inconvenience, but the ability to order books, cards, calendars and prints is no longer supported in iPhoto 7. Please upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto to order these products."

  • How do I install the Brother MFC-255CW on a Mac Airbook?

    Hi there. I am a mac newbie (converted to the light side lol). I am trying to get my printer and scanner (brother MFC-255CW) working on Mountain Lion 10.8.5.
    I have downloaded the "CUPS Printer Driver" and "Scanner Driver (TWAIN)". I have then double clicked the package and run the installer. Once installed I have tried to go the following:
    1. Apple symbole
    2. Go to System Preferences
    3. Print and Scan
    4. clicked the "+" sign
    the list that comes up under "default" is blank. So I am not sure what to do next. Appreciate any help!
    Drivers were downloaded from here:
    http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/us/ca/en/dlf/download_index.html ?reg=us&c=ca&lang=en&prod=mfc255cw_all&dlid=&flang=English&os=115&type2=-1

    If the printer is not appearing in the Default Add printer view, then it is either not using the same network that the Mac is or the printer does not support an advertising protocol like Bonjour. I would be surprised if it was the latter, because just about all Brother printers that I've seen do support Bonjour. So you need to determine why the Mac cannot see it.
    To check the Bonjour side of things, you can open Safari and then open its Preferences. Then under one of the tabs there is an option to enable Bonjour in the Bookmarks Bar. If you enable this, you will see Bonjour in the Bookmarks Bar and when you select it, if the Mac can see the printer then it should be shown here. Do you see it?
    Also, if you know the IP address of the printer, you can enter this as a URL in Safari. This should result in you connecting to the internal web page of the printer. Does this work?
    If you can connect to the internal web page of the printer then you may also be able to add the printer using its IP address instead of relying on Bonjour. When you select to add the printer, change from the Default view to the IP view (click the IP icon). You can then enter the IP address of the printer, set the protocol to HP Jetdirect-Socket, leave the queue name blank, change the Name to Brother Printer and leave the Location blank. Then in the Use menu, if it does not automatically select the correct Brother driver, drop the menu and click on Select Printer Software. Then browse for the Brother printer in the list and select it. Then click OK and then Add to complete. Now see if you can print.
