Final answer:

To print from an iPhone to a Brother printer without AirPrint, use the Brother iPrint&Scan app or the printer's email function. Ensure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network or use a computer intermediary with the appropriate software installed.

Step-by-step explanation:

To print from an iPhone to a Brother printer without AirPrint, you can use third-party apps such as Brother iPrint&Scan, which is available for free on the App Store. Download and install the app on your iPhone. Make sure your iPhone and the Brother printer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Open the app, select the document or photo you want to print, and choose your Brother printer from the list of devices. You can also use the printer's email function, if available, by sending the document you wish to print to the printer's unique email address.

Another method is to install software from Brother on your computer that allows your printer to receive print jobs from your iPhone. With this installed and your computer turned on, you should be able to print directly from your iPhone by sharing the document with the software.

Lastly, if your Brother printer has WiFi Direct capability, you can connect your iPhone directly to the printer's WiFi Direct network. Then, you can use printing apps that support WiFi Direct, like Printer Pro, to print directly to your Brother printer without the need for AirPrint.
