Re: Orbi with wireless printer
I am having the same problem with the same printer. It is connected to my network but I can get any machines(Windows, Mac, or mobile phone) to actually connect and print.

Connect the printer using wired Ethernet.

Doesn't that totally defeat the purpose of having a wireless printer ?
Not if wired is the only way to connect the printer to the network.
The OP and one other poster both said this printer will not connect wirelessly to Orbi. Assuming that's correct technical information, then they need to connect the printer via wired Internet. Problem solved. Or they could buy a new pritner...
You can still print to the printer wirelessly from any WiFi device on the network.

Problem solved. Even though the printer was connected and my devices could see it, they couldn't print to it. I reset the printer to its factory settings, deleted all drivers from my computer and then started fresh as if I had just unboxed the printer and that did the trick.

Re: Orbi with wireless printer
Thanks rtbinbend for your update. It seems that the drivers "remember" specifics about the wifi connection or IP address such that they cannot print if the printer is connected to a new wireless network. It's unfortunate that there are so many reasons why wireless devices can fail after replacing a modem and/or router... We are still far from "plug and play" right now.
Chadmack (the OP) - Have you also tried uninstalling & reinstalling the printer drivers on one of your clients and see if that fixes your printing issue?

回复: Orbi with wireless printer
It seems that you facing network issue while printing. Check LCD screen of your printer and notice that is there any error displayed on it? If yes, then fix it by using appropriate solution for it. But also keep in mind that sometimes printer errors are occurs due to corrupted driver files, poor and bad version drivers, also becuase of old PC updates etc. Get more information and troubleshooting ideas like above in Brother MFC-J4510DW Manual and get rid of your problem.

Re: Orbi with wireless printer
The post from rtbinbend also solved my problem. On my brother printer, under network, I selected reset network settings, and used the WLAN setup wizard to re-connect to the Orbi. On my Mac I deleted my printer and then re-added it. After this, wireless printing worked as expected.

Re: Orbi with wireless printer
Thanks for this post! It helped me with a Canon printer. I reset the LAN settings to factory, re-setup, and all works now 🙂
