Wireless Printer is Connected but Won't Print
I have a wireless Brother inkjet printer which is not working properly. Recently I got its firmware updated and since then it won't take any print commands. The orint command goes directly to the waiting list but would not print even though it is connected to the network. Is the firmware update an issue here? Can anyone tell me how to resolve this?

Connection

Firstly verify that the USB cable or ethernet cable you are using is properly to your printer and computer. If you have connected your printer wirelessly then confirm that WiFi is enabled and you are connected to the right network.

Check the toner and ink cartridge and confirm that they have sufficient ink. To check this, just print out a report by using your printer’s menu buttons. If there is not sufficient ink in the ink cartridges then immediately replace it with the new ones.
Paused queue

There is a printer’s onscreen management software that is used to cancel queued output jobs. Other than this, by using this software you can place the entire print function on hold.
Driver software
Print driver software main work is to manage communication relationship between your computer and Brother printer. If you have installed the wrong driver or using outdated driver then it can mess up with print commands. Hence it is suggested to check for updates regularly.
For this, navigate to Brother website - www.brother-usa.com and go to the Downloads section. Enter your printer’s model and then check for updates.
