Tired of connecting your laptop to a printer every time you need to print something? A wireless printer lets you print from compatible devices over your home or office network without relying on a direct cable connection. Whether you're printing school assignments, preparing invoices or sharing a printer with colleagues, having a wireless connection can make everyday tasks more convenient.
At CartridgesDirect, you'll find Brother wireless printers suited to different printing needs. From compact models for occasional home printing to multifunction printers designed for busy workplaces, there's plenty to consider. Some printers focus on straightforward document printing, while others offer scanning, copying and additional paper-handling features.
Not sure where to start? Think about how often you print, whether you need colour and which devices you'll be using. You can also explore our wider range of Brother Printers to compare your options.
Buying a printer isn't just about finding one with Wi-Fi. A printer that works well for occasional household use may struggle to keep up with the demands of a busy office. Understanding the differences between Brother's wireless printer types can help you narrow down your options.
If most of your printing involves invoices, reports, letters and other text-heavy documents, a Brother wireless laser printer is worth considering. Laser printers are generally well suited to regular document printing, particularly when speed and consistent text quality matter.
A mono laser printer may be enough if you rarely need colour. For workplaces that regularly print presentations or colour documents, a wireless colour laser model offers another option.
Brother wireless inkjet printers are worth exploring if you regularly print colour documents, charts or graphics. They can suit households, home offices and smaller workplaces with varied printing requirements.
When comparing inkjet models, look beyond the purchase price. Cartridge yields, replacement ink costs and your expected printing volume can all influence how much the printer costs to run.
Do you regularly scan signed documents, photocopy paperwork or manage several printing tasks throughout the day? A Brother wireless multifunction printer combines printing with scanning and copying in one machine.
Depending on the model, you may also find automatic document feeders, automatic double-sided printing and additional connectivity options. These features can be particularly useful when several people share the same printer.
One of the biggest conveniences of wireless printing is being able to send documents from different devices. You might need to print an email from your phone, a school project from your laptop or a document from your office computer.
Many Brother wireless printers offer mobile printing features, although the available options vary between models.
Apple AirPrint: If you use an iPhone, iPad or Mac, a Brother printer with AirPrint support allows you to print wirelessly from compatible Apple devices without installing a separate printer driver.
Mopria: For Android users, selected Brother Printers support Mopria, allowing compatible phones and tablets to print over a supported network connection.
Brother mobile printing apps: Brother also offers mobile applications for compatible printers. Depending on your device and printer model, these may provide additional printing, scanning and printer management functions.
Planning to print regularly from your phone? Check that your preferred Brother printer supports your device and the mobile printing method you want to use.
Brother wireless printers offer different ways to connect, and understanding these options can save you frustration later. Your ideal setup will depend on where you use the printer and how many devices need access to it.
A Wi-Fi printer connects to your home or workplace wireless network. Once it's set up, compatible computers and mobile devices on that network can send documents to the printer without being physically connected to it.
This makes Wi-Fi printing particularly convenient for households with several computers or workplaces where employees share printing equipment.
You can also position the printer somewhere more practical instead of keeping it directly beside your computer. Just make sure it's within reliable range of your wireless network.
What happens when you need to print but don't have access to a suitable Wi-Fi network?
Selected Brother Printers offer Wi-Fi Direct, which allows compatible devices to establish a direct wireless connection with the printer without using an existing wireless router.
This feature can be useful in temporary workspaces or situations where a conventional wireless network isn't available.
Not every Brother wireless printer supports Wi-Fi Direct, so look for this feature in the individual product specifications if it's important to you.
Although wireless printing is convenient, you may still prefer a wired connection for certain situations.
Some Brother wireless printers also include Ethernet connectivity, allowing them to connect directly to a wired home or office network. This can be useful when a printer is shared by several people or when the wireless signal is unreliable.
USB connectivity is another option available on selected models. It allows you to connect a compatible computer directly to the printer. If your workplace has specific network requirements, check the available connections before choosing your machine.
Two wireless printers can look similar but offer very different features. Before making your choice, consider how the printer will fit into your everyday routine.
Start with what you print most often. A mono laser printer may be suitable for regular black and white documents, while a colour laser or inkjet printer may be more appropriate if you frequently print graphics and colour materials.
If you're constantly refilling your current printer, pay attention to paper tray capacity. A larger tray can be helpful in a shared workplace where several people print throughout the day.
Some Brother printers also support additional paper trays, although compatibility and available configurations vary between models.
Printing longer documents? Look for automatic duplex printing. This feature allows compatible printers to print on both sides of the paper without you having to turn each sheet over manually. It can be particularly useful for reports, training materials and other documents that regularly contain several pages.
If you need more than printing, consider a multifunction model. For anyone who frequently scans multiple pages, an automatic document feeder may also be worth looking for.
Replacement ink and toner
Don't forget about ongoing printing costs. Two printers with similar purchase prices can have different cartridge yields and replacement supply costs.
CartridgesDirect stocks Brother Printer cartridges, including genuine and compatible options for selected models.
