If your iPad can't connect to your Brother printer, try these steps:
Remove the Printer from Your iPad
Go to your iPad settings and remove (or forget) the Brother printer from the list of connected devices.
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.
Refresh the Browser or App
Close and reopen the app or browser you're using to print, just to make sure everything is updated.
Get the Printer’s IP Address
Look at the printer's screen or settings menu and find the Wi-Fi IP address.
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.
Refresh the Browser or App Again
After adding the printer, refresh or restart the app or browser one more time to update the connection.
Add the Printer Back to Your iPad
Go back into your iPad settings and add the Brother printer again as a device.
Close and Reopen the Printing App
Fully close the app you’re using to print, then reopen it to reset the connection.
Check for the Printer Icon
