Printer sharing doesn't work with Sonoma on new imac

Well, in the absence of facts to support your statements, I know for a fact that I am not going to continue this discussion. I am convinced that someone else here has been using AirPrint with this printer model and a Mac.

Excuse me? Facts are there in the links you yourself have posted, I can’t help if you’re leaping to unsaid conclusions.

Let’s recap. AirPrint support based on Brother specs is limited to Mobile Devices only. That’s what your link from Brother says. Additionally, I know for a fact that the obsolete and unsupported 2370DW doesn’t support AirPrint for Macs.

End of discussion? I sure hope so! 👋

Was referring to your Macs - your Brother doesn’t support them too, so n/a to both Windows and macOS. But thanks for the clarification.

What I’d do is connect the LAN port on your printer to a free port on the router. If the router is in a different room, use powerLAN to get then “landed”. That should get everyone to live happily again. Otherwise, there’s no going back or forward unfortunately - your printer is no longer supported by Brother and Sonoma can’t be reversed.

That page is useless: has no drivers for download (even for older macOS versions) - all recommend AirPrint which your printer doesn’t have. Still, I’d wait it out until the next Sonoma release and then make a call on whether to buy new.

FWIW, the 2350 works perfectly - IMO, way better buying now than popping Advil (which you’ll need for every call to Apple/Brother CS) hoping for a solution.

Brother gave you a BS answer, your printer absolutely does not support AirPrint for Macs, mobile devices only. Take it from someone who’s had the same printer for over a decade and replaced it precisely for that reason: no AirPrint. Anyway, you’ve already ruled out AirPrint because it won’t work for Windows, so why are we (still) here?

If this is a Sonoma bug, maybe the next release will fix it. I seriously doubt it is or will be fixed, but waiting for the next update can’t hurt.

Otherwise, good intentions from Jan & co aside, heck even the bot-scripted Brother CS agent, you might as well face it: there’s no other choice other than to replace your printer.

You replaced your iMac with new didn’t you? A new brother costs pennies in comparison. So enough of the hand-wrenching already 😁 - just do it.

>Very strange.... Your last post, Jan disappeared from here. It happened to some of my posts. I cannot imagine why.

I can see the post. Is "Sort By:" set to "Oldest"? Using "Best" can be confusing.

>The printer and the new iMac are on the same network.

OK, that means that the printer is wirelessly connected to the router.

>I assume that printing should continue working from the new iMac with Sonoma (via Airprint) without doing anything else.

If AirPrint (that is, the technology) is working, yes, without additional drivers. If AirPrint is not working for some reason, wireless printing as such should work, but an appropriate printer driver (or possibly Brother iPrint&Scan) would have to be installed.

EDIT: Just noticed your latest post. Separate reply.

Your printer doesn’t have AirPrint, required for WiFi Mac printing. Both are stated clearly on links from Brother. Their driver page doesn’t have any drivers for downloading for any OS, so inferring hope just on seeing a checkbox isn’t a good idea. It’s most likely an unmaintained page.

Replacing your printer is your only option for AirPrint + Sonoma. Be there, done that, ponied up the small change, haven’t looked back. You can too. All the best.

No it’s not. Discontinued/obsolete (but will work fine for basic configurations).

That’s the XL model only. Doesn’t matter what Apple says (but even then, it’s a reference to the XL model obviously).

That’s AirPrint for Mobile Devices only. It doesn’t work on Macs, I know that for a fact.

One more thing: the cost of a pair of Power-LAN boxes will get you more than halfway to a new Brother 2350. So keep that in mind too if running a cable directly to the router isn’t an option.
