My new Mac does recognize the printer but I cannot get the printer to connect to WIFI.  I have tried EVERYTHING the manual said to do.  Any suggestions????

Have you checked to see if there are some updates to download?  There also may be a download specifically for your computer's OS, but that shouldn't keep it from connecting to the wifi I don't think.

@bargainsgirl.  I have trouble with my printers too.  I have two brand new ones and they both get the message to print, paper run through but they're blank, on two different machines.  I just read that an ad blocker can interfere and to disable it while printing.   I haven't tried that yet.

Call the Company is always the answer I give

Have you tried these steps:

To connect your Brother printer to Wi-Fi, follow these steps:

1. Power On: Connect the power cord to your Brother printer and plug it into an electrical socket.
2. Access Network Menu: Press the Menu button on the printer's control panel, then use the Up or Down arrow key to select Network and press OK.
3. Select WLAN: Again, use the Up or Down arrow key to select WLAN and press OK.
4. Connect to Wi-Fi: Follow the on-screen instructions to select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password if prompted. 
5. Confirm Connection: Once connected, you can print a network configuration page to confirm the connection.
   For more detailed instructions, you can refer to the official Brother support page.

If everything else fails, I would contact Brother Printer Service or Mac Book. There might be something you are missing.

Yes and I even tried the old one!  Guess a phone call to Brother's as last try..

I have Apple products and remember how difficult it was to connect my printer to them. 

I had to use an hdmi cord to connect my laptop. The phone automatically worked after that. 

The other option is to ask a friend who is a wizard with these things to help... or call the Geek Squad to come out and hook it up.

Printers have been around since the dawn of computing and have been a headache the whole time. You would think that at some point the issues would all get ironed out, but no.

Brother has a fairly detailed help section on their website that may be of some help.
