# 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!
