If you are unable to print to your installed brother printer because it is appearing as offline, then you can adjust some of the printer's settings so that you are able to continue printing. Check if you can print to the printer from your computer. step a: verify the status monitor is displaying or monitoring the correct brother machine. the status monitor cannot display the correct information if the proper driver is not configured in the device to monitor or device to display setting. Had exactly this problem on a 3 year old mfc-j6920dw today - found a solution elsewhere on the net: remove power cord and wait 30 seconds. then remove paper trays. reconnect power cord and switch on at the wall. wait for printer to boot (and complain about lack of trays). reinstall paper trays. all - brother printer mfc-j6920dw.
