Hi,


A Brother HL-L3210CW is listed in About AirPrint - Apple Support as a model supporting the driverless AirPrint technology. This means that you should be able to use HL-L3210CW without additional drivers, provided that the printer and the computer are connected to the same network (router). According to the UK support site, Brother recommends AirPrint for this model and macOS 12 Monterey (https://www.brother.co.uk/support/hl-l3210cw/downloads). How is your printer connected?

Thank you. Additional information from Brother does not appear to help much.

AirPrint is dependent on Bonjour. Any change if you try the following power-cycling sequence?

Power off the Wi-Fi router, the printer(s), the computer, and all other devices/computers. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the router. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the printer(s). Wait a minute or two. Power on the computer. Finally, power on all other devices/printers.


If you have access to an iPhone/iPad, is it possible to print from there?

If absolutely nothing else works, you could possibly try the macOS 10.15 Catalina printer driver 1.6.0 (the same link as in my previous message). This is not AirPrint. Probably a good idea to again reset the printing system. Could perhaps be tested with USB as well. It would be entirely experimental. It may not work at all with your printer and macOS Monterey. Before doing anything, make sure that you have backup copies of all important files (documents, photos, et cetera).
