you have a Brother, not a HP Printer.
HP Setup will put mess and will certainly not work for a Brother printer.
I know that! 😁


linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.3-1 is the Brother printer driver installer.

I'm not sure that running it will help as my problem is that the printer can't connect to my router.

I can print fine to this Brother printer via a USB cable from my Linux box.

My problem is that I want to share the printer wirelessly to other devices.

And it is a wireless printer (also has USB connection).

From the router log having tried to link the printer to the router:

Good to know that USB way printing works fine. !! that's great.

ipp:// works fine to share it.

The soft: system-config-printer is very easy to use to make it work.

That "just worked" via cups when I connected the printer to my Linux box.

My difficulty is getting the printer to connect to the router.
I often note issues with using wifi on a printer when it is also connected by USB. Generally it works best to use one or the other but not both at the same time.

Have you tried disconnecting the usb, deleting that config on your pc, then powering on the printer and connecting it to the router? It could very easily be that simple to fix the wifi issue.

Thanks but when I disconnect the printer from the PC (physically unplug the USB cable) I still can't "pair" the printer with the router using the WPS button on the printer.

This printer has no front panel and just has a WPS button.

If a WPS nutton is going to be any use, you should be hitting the one on the router at the same time, and perhaps entering some little code.

Can you monitor the wifi hosts on your router and see if your printer is there. Lastly, can you see if your printer is acting as a wifi access point itself? I got better reception from my neighbour's printer than from my own router at one point. Try this
Code:
 iwlist wlan0 scan |more
and check for your printer. You can replace 'wlan0' with whatever your wifi adapter calls itself.
