The Brother MFC-J2740DW, Brother MFC-L2740DW and Brother MFC-L2740DWR models are listed in About AirPrint - Apple Support as printers supporting the AirPrint technology. Which model do you have?
An AirPrint printer can be used without an additional app, provided that the printer and the iPhone are connected to the same network (Wi-Fi router).
AirPrint works with wireless (Wi-Fi) or wired (Ethernet) network connections. A Brother printer that has Ethernet (in addition to wireless) could be wired to one of the LAN ports of the Wi-Fi router, if you so wish. With an Ethernet printer connection, some of the problems related to Wi-Fi may be avoided.
Any change if you try the following power-cycle procedure (do not forget the router)?
Power off the Wi-Fi router, the printer, the iPhone, any iPads and Macs, and all other computers/devices. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the router. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the printer. Wait a minute or two. Power on the iPhone. Power on any iPads and Macs. Finally, power on all other computers/devices.

Hi,
Do the other users have Macs and/or iPhones/iPads?
Router make and model? Have you tried the full power cycle procedure above?
Which exact printer make and model? Printer firmware updated?
Which iPhone model? iOS version?
A VPN app?
You may also want to have a look at the following tip by Lawrence Finch:
My AirPrint capability stopped working when I got a new Verizon router. If I try to print, my phone sees the printer and gives me no error message, but nothing prints. None of the other users in my household lost the ability to print. For that reason, I don’t want to change printer or network settings…the problem seems to be with my phone.
I’ve updated the phone settings, disconnected and reconnected WiFi but no success.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Thank you, I confirmed no VPN. Other users have same iPhone models and IOS version.
I have not tried the full power cycle but will try that now.
Appreciate your help!
