Unable to print directly to Brother Printer DCP-T420w

I have a Brother Printer DCP-T420w and running Microsoft 365 on a Macbook with Mac OS 13. I can only print to the DCP-T420w using the Brother iPrint&Scan App which only allows me to print JPEG and PDF files.

I can’t print anything from MS Word, Excel or Powerpoint. Is there a solution for this?


MacBook Pro (M1, 2020)

Two things come to mind. Make sure you have updated to the most recent version of Ventura 13.4. Also, I notice that Brother has updated their firmware for this printer. Have you updated that as well as insuring your drivers are up to date?
