I bought a Brother laser printer like the internet told me to, and I even paid extra money to get the one that is easy to connect on wifi, but we can't seem to connect the printer to any macs wirelessly. It only connects to the iphones and the ubuntu machine. It just doesn't show up in macs. Anyone know anything about that?
- judge2020 3y agoHave you tried manually adding it? When adding a printer you can change the type to 'airprint' which makes it discoverable in the same way that iphones discover printers. You could also use the IP address directly if you must.
- jmugan 3y agoThanks, I'll look at that. Since it doesn't show up I'm not sure what to add. The printer doesn't identify itself in any way.
- anadem 3y agoMake sure it has a fixed IP and doesn't default to using DHCP (not sure this will fix yours, but saw a thread elsewhere where that was the cure)
- jmugan 3y agoI'll check that, thanks!
- LorenPechtel 3y agoYup, beware of DHCP with printers. I've never not been burned.
