Brother printer no longer prints - what to do?

In most cases, you can fix this error in just a few simple steps. Follow our instructions below to make the printer print again quickly.

• Before printing, make sure that the printer is turned on correctly and connected to the PC correctly.
• You have two options: First, you can connect the PC wirelessly via WLAN. To do this, you need to activate the WLAN function on the printer and make sure that the printer has connected to your PC.
• You can do this in the Control Panel under "Printers". If your printer is listed there and marked "Ready", there is no error. However, if it says "Offline" or if the printer is not listed, there is a connection error.
• On the other hand, you can also connect the printer to the PC using a USB cable. Check whether the cable has been connected correctly and is not defective or broken.
