Wireless printing from my MacBookPro is flaky (works on-and-off), is there some obscure setting I need to tweak? Thanks in advance...

Do you sometimes print to another printer (e.g. at work/home)? There's a setting in Preferences / Printers that defaults to "last printer used" and that might be messing things up for you. If that's the case, the default can be changed to this printer.

I would Goggle Brother Printer MFCJ4710DW wireless set-up for Mac. When in doubt just Goggle it (:>Here is the PDF of the manual. Go to the index and check out wireless. They also offer FREE support & the Tel. # is 877-276-8437. Page # 5 is about Mac's. Pages 133-134 address network issues. Hope this helps.!

That has happened a couple of times for me, too, if I haven't used it in a few days. I think the printer occasionally loses its IP address on my home network. My easy solution is to unplug the printer, wait a few seconds, and then plug in the printer again. It then turns on, automatically finds its new IP address on the network, and prints great.

No it does not print wirelessly. If you connect it to a router, then you can set it up to print wirelessly that way, although honestly I had luck doing it with macs but not with my PCs (running windows XP).

I had the same problem because it was set to best photo printing, I couldn't change the settings but i found that restoring default settings fixed the problem. I chose not to change wifi setting since I didn't want to undo wireless printing.

I do not agree that the wireless on this printer is a weak point. I have the printer upstairs and my wife and I have 2 laptops, 2 netbooks and 2 tablets downstairs and we have not had any problems printing via WiFi to the printer. If anybody has a problem with this printer, it has to do with the setup. All devices have their own little setup quirks. This is a great wireless printer. If you have WiFi on any device, it will work with this printer.

I did not set it up to my MAC!!! Go to their website and ask for technical assistance. They set our printer up because we were having difficulty. They were very nice about it, dialed in and got us going. Give them a call!

Hello, My iMac is 10.9.3. I work my printer closely with iPhoto and am very happy with it. I also get the knock off ink from Amazon and it works fine as well and is CHEAP! I print a lot of "stuff" and have no problems. I also am WIFI.To be honest, my Son walked me through hooking it up....as I've found that it's a bit complicated, but once done, it's been great.

I haven't tried it myself, but I'm a big mac user and I have used this printer before on windows computers. The printer itself is USB if I remember right. If you have a USB port on your router, hook it up to that and the printer will pull an IP directly from the router itself (you may have to sign into the router to get it). If you don't have a USB port on your router, you'll need a seperate box like an HP JetDirect to give it an IP then you can connect to it wirelessly. On a mac, you'll need to go into system preferences>print &scan;, then hit the plus sign to add. Hope that helps!

If you'll go to the Apple site you'll be able to find a list of printers compatible with Mac operating systems. I've had no problems with my printer although it is a little tedious to get wireless communication set up. Make sure you have the latest Canon driver for your computer.

I can print with iMac, but I believe it is only through wifi. Cannot print with ipad or iphone.

I was blown away with the picture quality while watching netflix. Now if I could only figure out what I did wrong with installing my printer! :( I'm tryig to get it to work wirelessly. When I print test pattern or anything it says it's going and complete but nothing prints up. Anyone have any ideas for me?

I use the same printer and Bu-30 with an Hp professiona laptop and it works well. Have had two adapters as I lost one. Have not tried it with Mac book pro but plan to later this year. I suggest you call apple support as I have always had excellent results with them.

I agree its a great printer. works with Mac OS 10.9.2 when I am on that network which is primarily windows 7 & 8 machines. I have had no issues printing from either microsoft office or pages/numbers. It is a higher speed / B&W; printer that I think does well on shades of grey images. I also have a Brother 9840 color printer that I have no issues connecting to, scanning or printing to in a wireless configuration as well as a Brother 2270, also wireless. The 6180 has, in my opinion, the best performance/price ratio of the B&W; printers.

Firstly, yes the 2070N seems to be fully compatible with Mac OS X 10.4.10. I haven't noticed any differences during printing compared to previous OS X versions. Now to reduce any chance of misunderstanding your post, the 2070N is not a wireless printer. It can be added to a wired network and then become a part of a wireless network via a separate transmitter, but the functionality does not come built-in. And if you are on a Mac, Bonjour is already a part of OS X.

Yes, I have it connected to a Mac and it works. A problem I've had with my particular machine is that the printing comes out too light. Not a problem for text, but when I print out greyscale from Google maps the streets are nearly invisible. I called support at Brother about this, and they said that print darkness can be adjusted from a software control panel that works under Windows but not Mac. So, there is no way to control print characteristics on the Mac, you have to accept the factory defaults.

I print wirelessly from my iPhone and iPad almost daily without any issues ;-)

That's not a lot of info, but if you're using a Mac, I found a really helpful link for getting the best driver installed. Solved all of my little problems.http://www.macworld.com/article/2684309/the-trick-to-finding-the-right-printer-driver-for-your-mac.htmlHope this helps you.
