Mac OS 13.3 & Not Communicating with Printer

Since upgrading to Mac OS 13.3 my M1 MacBook Pro won't communicate seems to recognize that my Brother MFC - L27500W printer is there but won't communicate. Is anyone else having this problem since the update?

MacBook Pro (2021)

Try resetting the print system and re-installing the printer. To reset the printing system, go to System Settings -> Printers and Scanners -> Right-click the printer and you'll see the option to reset the printing system.



Then re-add the printer. It should support Airprint with no installed driver.

There's a recent firmware update and you can install the drivers but Brother recommends using Airprint.
