How to Add Wireless Printer to MacBook?

I have connected my Brother printer 490CW to home LAN. I can easily connect my wireless printer on other PCs that are available on my network but when it comes to Macbook, I get a negative response i.e., my printer does not connect to Macbook at all. After connecting my printer to Macbook, it says “Printer is ready to print” but when I print, I see “printer is unable to connect ” message on the screen. Any ideas to connect wireless printer to Mac-book?
