Did not work with brother td-4d label printer, so far I've been unable to print with this printer using my phone/ tablet and any of the brother apps
★☆☆☆☆Sans Sun· Jun 26, 2026
I'm apparently one of many discovering that I can no longer print from my phone. It made me install this new plugin. As far as I can tell, it does nothing at all. Clicking on any button in the plugin does nothing.
★☆☆☆☆SARAH PASFIELD· Apr 1, 2026
Terrible connectivity issues. Having to reset network or add Wi-Fi connection to PC or phone almost monthly. Have had printer for 2 years. Nothing but headaches from it. Paper jams when printing more than a few pages at a time. I'll never buy Brother again.
