The Brother HL-L2305W is an Apple AirPrint-enabled printer. No cables are required. Add it as an AirPrint printer. When asked how it is to be added to Printers & Scanners, you must specify AirPrint.


In no particular order, reboot your router, the printer, and your Macs.


Needless to say, if you are using any non-Apple "anti-virus" products or so-called "firewalls", don't. A lot of things won't work if you do.

Here is how to get to the wireless printer configuration web interface menus, without installing any add-on apps:

You will need the printer IP address, which is usually available on the front panel or from printing a printer setup page, depending on the printer.


Here is how to print out the network setup, which includes the IP address (for the above web interface):
