Airprint problems. Brother printer, brother print and scan finds the printer on the net work. All other APS say no printers found?

Brother printer mfc-f4510dw, DLink ...-655' assorted apple i products. All I stuff connected to network. Printer connected to network, prints from win-7 dell laptop. When using brother iscan/iprint the printer can be found an I can scan or print. All other apps can't find the printer. Back ground. Everything worked for years but the DLink quit so I replaces it with the same model used the same pass code but.

iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 7

i just found a solution after a lot of failed trials

ipv6 should be enabled on the printer setup

you can access the printer setup by typing its IP address on your webbrowser

For me

http://192.168.0.36/net/wireless/ipv6.html

I tried everything before that (firmware / Dns / dhcp / ip /...)

Nothing worked until I enabled the ipv6

was getting very frustrated

hopefully it works for you too

Tried more combinations of settings. Still no joy. At least I can now print from my MacBook, which makes the printer a little more useful.

But I am unable to get anything to print from any iOS device. The symptoms are always the same: the printer hangs for a few minutes with a status of "Data remaining in memory - please wait". Sometimes it hangs for ever, and I need to manually cancel the print job (click the red cross on the printer) and sometimes even reboot the printer entirely.

I tried updating the firmware (/admin/firmwareupdate.html?pc=1). That hangs for a while and ultimately fails ("There was a problem updating the firmware. Try turning the device off and on and then repeat the update process.").

I have been using a variety of printers in a variety of locations - home, offices, ... They all worked out of the box as AirPrint devices. Only Brother printers seem to be clueless about AirPrint ...

EvansE.

What type of AccessPoint do you have? I have seen this before and it turned out to be the ISP provided Access Point. It was a combined Model/Router Gateway.

Worked for me too. So far only Apple devices have this problem, though.
