I have the full install package downloaded to my work laptop. I chose the wifi instead of USB connection during setup. The printer shows offline when I try to print anything through wifi. It works with USB cable plugged in. I have run the Brother network connection repair tool and it shows everything is connected and fine. Oddly enough I tried scanning a document on the flatbed with wifi and it worked.
I previously had this up and running but got tired of having to unplug the USB receiver for my wireless mouse and plug in the printer USB cable every time I want to print something. I uninstalled all the brother software and drivers and restarted the laptop. Clean install of Brother installation. I ran a windows diagnostic and it had me switch the default printer to the one labeled "Copy 2". That didn't help.
I read somewhere a while back that you can't have a printer connected by wifi to more than one PC. No idea if that is true or not. I also have the same exact Brother software package installed on my desktop. That one was set to USB during install and not wifi.
How the heck do I get this thing printing through wifi? Should I completely uninstall everything on BOTH PC's and install it again just on the laptop? I have tried everything I know.
