AirPrint not working

Hi,

I've just bought a new Brother DCP-J772DW printer. I was, therefore, trying to connect my MacBook Pro from 2012, with my new printer by using AirPrint. But I didn't succeed with it.

Afterwards, I tried with my MacBook Pro from 2016 and it could connect... my iPhone X could also connect.


I then tried to print from my MacBook Pro 2012 with a USB cable and that worked. But I can still not print wirelessly.


On the basis of this information, I know that there is something wrong with my MacBook Pro 2012. But I can't figure out what???


So my question is: Why can I not print from my MacBook Pro 2012 wirelessly?


I have made sure that my printer and computer were connected to the same network.


Please help me :)


In advance thank you!


Kindest regards

Valdemar

MacBook Pro

If not printing wireless, then try a cabled connection as a work a round and don't fight it. It does not always work



Printer / AirPrint

Printers/scanners are typically the first causality in upgrading any OS.


If it is listed as AirPrint printer, delete the existing printer in

> System Preferences> Printers & Scanners, and add it again, select AirPrint.



Connect an AirPrint printer to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support.
