Everyone I try to print a webpage the Brother Mobile Connect app states I need to download the Brother Print Service Plug In App, so I do, but I still get the same error. Useless. Why in earth do I have to download 2 apps to make my printer, print. Ridiculous!

★☆☆☆☆ Sharon Murray · Jun 30, 2026

All of a sudden this is not working at all. My network is up and running the printer just does not print. Right now is a pile of plastic junk. I have used Brother printers for years and years this latest one just won't work.
