Hello, thank you for using Howly.
What troubleshooting have you done so far?
when I turn my computer off my brother printer MFC-J4335DW goes offline
Looked at settings
when this happens I cannot print from my ipad as it does not find my printer
I have never had this problem with any other printer
We'll get it figured out
First, let's check if the printer is set as the default.
To do that, please press the Windows key + I to open Settings, click Devices > Printers & scanners, select your printer, and click Open queue. Click Printer on the top toolbar and click Set As Default Printer. If you do not want Windows to manage your default printers, return to the Printers & scanners page and untick Allow Windows to manage my default printer.
when I attempt to find printer it does not find it
Noted
In that case, please check if cables are connected properly
I have wifi and it is connected
Okay
Please follow these steps to power cycle your printer:
waiting for a minute
Good
After the minute is over, please do the following
okay the printer is connected now
Great work!
how do I prevent this from happening in the future
This problem should not occur in the future after troubleshooting if your printer is serviceable
Thank you
