Hi,


The Brother HL-L8260CDW is listed in About AirPrint - Apple Support as a model supporting Apple's AirPrint technology. This means that it can be used without additional drivers/software, provided that the printer and (a Mac computer and/or) the iPhone are connected to the same network (Wi-Fi router).


If you have a Mac computer, Brother recommends using AirPrint.

If you have a PC, you could still connect the computer to the router, but Windows drivers would be required.


AirPrint works with wireless (Wi-Fi) or wired (Ethernet) network connections. Since the HL-L8260CDW has both Wi-Fi and Ethernet (in addition to USB), you could choose to run an Ethernet cable from the printer to one of the LAN ports of the router, or to connect the printer wirelessly.

The iPhone would connect wirelessly to the router.

The computer could connect wirelessly or via Ethernet.


USB is not supported for AirPrint in this case.

I assume it's connected through USB to your computer?


If so, you won't be able to print from your phone. You will need to set the printer up on your home's wifi.


If you have the manual/paperwork for the printer, instructions should be there. If not, I think this is what you need: https://www.brother-usa.com/-/media/brother/product-catalog-media/documents/2022/07/18/08/26/cv_hll8260cdw_use_qsg.pdf
