Brother MFC-J430W Printer: Device is unable to connect to my iPad by way of the app

Mon, 15 Aug 2022 16:27:39 -0700

So, I found myself with a Brother MFC-J430W Printer after I saw it as it was about to be ditched, and saw some use out of it. However, recently, I found out that the official Brother iPrint&Scan app won’t connect to the device if I go even a single day without using the device. Here’s what has been done:

The device won’t let me connect it to WiFi because I can’t get past the part where I enter the password. Which isn’t really needed, because it’s connected to the local network on my iPad.

There was also an option to turn the Privacy Separator off on the router, but I’m not experienced in the ways of messing with routers.

So my solution was to unplug the device, plug it back in, and reconnect my iPad to the device. That’s cool and all, except that doesn’t fix the problem.

What else is there to do to try and solve this problem that I have?

Brother MFC-J430W Printer: printing only bottom 1/8th of each line

Fri, 29 Oct 2021 12:21:20 -0700

Printer is barely printing the very bottom of each line. Had a paper jam-fixed it. Had 2nd paper jam, fixed that, now can’t print. I am sure I did something. Also print head is all the way on the far right and undetectable when scanner screen is open. Not sure if that is normal.

My husband was troubleshooting the printer. Now the back piece will not go back together. Is there a how-to video available to see what the back should look like inside the printer?
