Hi,


To begin with, have you checked whether the printer firmware has been updated?

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.


AirPrint works with wireless (Wi-Fi) or wired (Ethernet) network connections. An AirPrint printer (such as the Brother MFC-L2705DW) that has Ethernet could be wired to one of the LAN ports of the Wi-Fi router instead of using a wireless connection, if you so wish just for a comparative test. With the printer wired by Ethernet, some of the problems related to Wi-Fi may be avoided. The iPhone would of course connect wirelessly to the router.
