Fix: Unable to Connect Printer to iPad

If your iPad can't connect to your Brother printer, try these steps:

1. Remove the Printer from Your iPad

   • Go to your iPad settings and remove (or forget) the Brother printer from the list of connected devices.

2. Delete the Printer from the App or Browser

   • If you added the printer through a printing app or browser, make sure to delete it there too.

3. Refresh the Browser or App

   • Close and reopen the app or browser you're using to print, just to make sure everything is updated.

4. Get the Printer’s IP Address

   • Look at the printer's screen or settings menu and find the Wi-Fi IP address.

5. Add the Printer Again Using the IP Address

   • In the app or browser, manually add the printer by entering the IP address you just found.

6. Refresh the Browser or App Again

   • After adding the printer, refresh or restart the app or browser one more time to update the connection.

7. Add the Printer Back to Your iPad

   • Go back into your iPad settings and add the Brother printer again as a device.

8. Close and Reopen the Printing App

   • Fully close the app you’re using to print, then reopen it to reset the connection.

9. Check for the Printer Icon

   • In the top left corner of the app, you should now see a small printer icon. If you do, it means your iPad is successfully connected!
