What happens when you try to add the printer to System Preferences/Print & Scan?
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system also Yosemite
I did reset the printing system. Whenever I install the Driver (for wireless connection) that comes with it the driver, it says it no longer supports the OS ( 10.9.5 ) . Sad part is, they discontinued the product.
Hi Eric. Whenevey I add the printer, it gives me Add printer dialogue with the Brand's model but I couldn't use it wirelessly
This shows whenever i add a printer
Please don't install a driver from the CD. Nearly a 100% probability of being OLD!
These days, manufacturers give their Current driver to Apple, who keeps it on the Software Update server(s).
Please read this (and notice that Brother has given a current driver to Apple):
OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download - Apple Support
After another Reset, Do Not install anything. OS X will add the driver automatically.
Before adding the printer, reset the printer by powering off for a minute and then back on. (for WiFi)
Another thing to try - connect by USB and add it just to be sure the printer is working.
