My Brother laser printer won't print from my Imac ios monterey, I have removed and readded the printer (HL-L3210CW) but no success! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tried brother support but for some reason can't get to there support page.

Hi,
A Brother HL-L3210CW is listed in About AirPrint - Apple Support as a model supporting the driverless AirPrint technology. This means that you should be able to use HL-L3210CW without additional drivers, provided that the printer and the computer are connected to the same network (router). According to the UK support site, Brother recommends AirPrint for this model and macOS 12 Monterey (https://www.brother.co.uk/support/hl-l3210cw/downloads). How is your printer connected?
Thank you. Additional information from Brother does not appear to help much.

AirPrint is dependent on Bonjour. Any change if you try the following power-cycling sequence?
Power off the Wi-Fi router, the printer(s), the computer, and all other devices/computers. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the router. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the printer(s). Wait a minute or two. Power on the computer. Finally, power on all other devices/printers.
If you have access to an iPhone/iPad, is it possible to print from there?

If absolutely nothing else works, you could possibly try the macOS 10.15 Catalina printer driver 1.6.0 (the same link as in my previous message). This is not AirPrint. Probably a good idea to again reset the printing system. Could perhaps be tested with USB as well. It would be entirely experimental. It may not work at all with your printer and macOS Monterey. Before doing anything, make sure that you have backup copies of all important files (documents, photos, et cetera).
Thanks for your reply, yes saw that it was compatible with AirPrint, connected via wifi. I have reset the printing system and re added the printer and still nothing, what's funny is iMac knows the printer is there and gives me ink levels. I have a Brother MFC inkjet printer, fax and scan, works fine! Doesn't like the Laser printer.
Finally fixed it, prints nice now, restored the printer to out of box defaults, and re-added the printer back to the iMac. Printed right away, must have got some of the settings wrong to begin with. Thanks again for your help.
You're welcome! Glad to hear that it is working now.
Thanks for your reply, did all that, still no go.
Thanks Jan for all your help, I will try those steps and let you know how it goes!
Good luck!
Brother Laser Printer.
