Brother printer no lon

Since I updated to Ventura, my Brother MFC-J4510DW ink jet printer shows up as not online, but it is! I had been using Brother iPrint and iScan and that worked fine. Now it doesn't and Brother says no updates available for its drivers for this and many other models. Is there any work-around?


Mac mini, macOS 11.6

So try the folloiwng:


1 - go to the System/Printers & Scanners settings pane, Control (right) - click on the printer and select Reset Printing System.



2 - then read your printer using the Bonjour or AirPrint connectivity.

I reset the printing system as advised but am unable to remount the printer. The computer doesn't see it. Yet another computer on the same network does, but says it is Offline. The printer wifi light is lit and shows its on the network. I double checked that it is on the correct network. Any other suggestions? Thanks.
