Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have set up my Brother HL-L2370DW wireless printer using the AirPrint function. Routinely, ie. nearly always, the printer is not found when attempting to print from my iMac and iOS devices. It becomes available as a printer on these devices if I turn the device wifi off then back on. This occurred with my HP printer also. I have a xfinity XB7T router, the newest generation.
iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 11.3
Might want to poke around over at the Verizon forums, too:
Maybe the ZeroConfig setting mentioned here: https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/your-home-network/printer-unable-to-connect-to-xb7-router/602dafcac5375f08cd176c6a
Maybe? https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/configure-device-discovery-for-wifi
That two different printers from two different vendors are misbehaving similarly tends to point at some other common factor. Maybe at the Verizon XB7-T?
Confirmed that your Brother HL-L2370DW has firmware 1.42 that was released ~6 months ago?
Yes, firmware 1.42 confirmed.
Hello,
Just for a test, what would happen if you configured the router to use 2.4 GHz only?
AirPrint printer not available on iMac or any iOS devices
