I Bought a model called HL-1210W just to print my bills from my mobile. Well...it works pretty good. If I use Iprint&Scan App it's really slow in processing the printout. Using this plugin I can actually initiate printout straight from "excel" or "word" but the printing quality is very pour even if you take it on "Fine" mode. It will be nice if it could work just like in a pc.

Excellent plugging that allows android to recognise and print to my brother printer over my home network. To those who have posted a review but clearly misunderstand what they have downloaded, this is a plugin not an app. It will not run on its own it just provides android the info it needs to find and communicate with a brother printer. If your use to Windows based systems then I guess a good analogy would be that it's a driver you are installing to allow the operating system (android in this case) to talk to the printer. So for all those who commented the plugin down because it won't "run" basically just rated there own understanding and technical competency 1 star. Slow Clap........ Clap................................... Clap.

Hello Developer, Overall the app is great and user friendly. The main concern for me is that when printing documents like pdf files, almost all file are low quality when checking before printing. I mean blurred and not readable sometimes, but when i use an adobe reader app it shows great quality and clear words of that file. Hope you fix this problem and make it show in the preview more high quality so that the printing will be also high quality. Thanks while rate 5 if improved 😀

Based on initial use, it works. Print quality was sub-par to unacceptable, especially if printing photos from a mobile device, and I'm curious why my documents may go through one or more servers, but it works. I'd like to try the iPrint&Scan app, but not until the permissions are fixed - full access is unnecessary.

Seems slow to find printer in deep sleep state but will eventually. Emails print tiny so they can be hard to read

Brother was once great.... Not much now, and the Brother printer I have won't be hard to replace. I have a old Kodak printer that the Brother replaced. It functions wirelessly, way better than my Brother.....

It's a PLUG-IN! And it works great! I can print to both my Brother MFC inkjet as well as Laserjet. So easy and SIMPLE to use. I also have the HP plug-in on my BBB100-1 and I can also print to both my HP multi-function printers with no problems. Again, this is a PLUG-IN.

RJ McC September 4, 2017

Yves Heller September 3, 2017

Not finding my Brother HL-3140CW, soo pretty much useless.

Laura R September 11, 2017

Did not work. Installed but said that it could not find the printer.

Maximus 28 August 29, 2017

It says "can't add printers". So the app is basically useless.

Does not let me print emails seems only to accept Google email accounts

Berhampore Locks August 30, 2017

You would think that a Brother app for a Brother printer would work for a Brother printer. App will not even run.

Jamie Ridyard September 9, 2017

Too unreliable. Good when it works, but...

Works well for what I want to do.

September 21, 2017

Worked well with my Droid to print out hard copies of e-tickets. Used it later to print out a copy of a PDF I had open in Adobe. It could not process the PDF and kept printing 2 blank pages instead of 2 pages of typed text (exported to PDF from Word). I ended up having to get iPhone Print and Scan to print two lousy text pages. Lame.

Jeff MacMakin September 21, 2017

It does nothing.
