    Mine is the MFC-490 CW, but same problem. On the printer's LCD screen- it shows that it's connected to my network. In 'Printers', it shows that it's offline.

I had the same problem and call customer service (877-276-8437). Customer service will walk you through the process. You will have to configure you I.P. address along with other steps.
One thing I can tell you is to make sure under the Menu option...Network....WLAN...TCP/IP...BOOT Method....make sure it states STATIC.

My MFC8460N Brother won't print. It makes this
Gears on the tray is broken, or the gears that lift the tray. (thus the clicking noise). And the no paper is due to the actuators underneath not being activated because of the non lift.

Printout from Brother MFC8460N has vertical faded line across page
Try replacing the toner and if it still happens then you have a bad fuser. But im pretty sure its a faulty toner.
