Use AirPrint with Brother printer - how it works

If you want to send text, images and documents from your iOS device to your Brother printer, this is possible both via AirPrint and via an alternative WiFi connection. We present both variants in this article.

Brother printers: Print documents using AirPrint

• Not all current printers are equipped with AirPrint. Functionality is often saved in the cheaper models. If your Brother printer supports AirPrint, you can print files from your iPhone with AirPrint without setup.
• If the Brother printer does not support AirPrint, you can upgrade the function with special software and with a little effort. In the next practical tip, we will show you how to retrofit AirPrint for Windows printers.

Brother printers: Print over WiFi instead of AirPrint

• Bringing AirPrint to a printer costs Brother money. If your printer has been saved on the AirPrint function, this is not a major problem either. If the printer is WLAN-compatible, you can also print from your iOS device.
• All you need is the Brother iPrint & Scan app. If the iPhone and printer are in the same WiFi network, the iPhone automatically recognizes the printer. You can use the app to access your documents from numerous sources and then send them to the printer.

In the next practical tip, we will show you how you can also print from an Android phone.
