Help. I recently bought a Brother MFC-J4410DW + printer

Help. I recently bought a Brother MFC-J4410DW + printer/scanner/copier and I cannot figure out how to make it wirelessly print from my Mac desktop. I have OSX 10.8.3. I have tried downloading so many drivers and still nothing. Any advice?

If this is the wrong place for this then I am sorry. I have tried the brother help site and still nothing.

Thanks in advance... or even just pointing me in the right direction.

I know that only my Canon PIXMA MG8120 and 8220 that I have to use "setup" from the printer's control panel to set it up to work wirelessly. Is there a similar setup on your Brother multi-function?

Is your printer connected to your network? LAN / WLAN. If you can connect it to LAN for testing. do so! If you have configured the printer in the LAN access the printer through your browser (type in ip-adress). Normally printers have a webapplication to configure them. Check in their if you can do any settings --> Wireless. If possible give printer (WLAN)- IP, diconnect LAN and try to access webapplication through wireless. If that is possible it should be possible to print by manually configuring your printer in your operating system --> Preferences-->printe&scan--> add(+)-->IP --> put in your settings!
