I have the same old printer at home. Going by memory, long ago I found that the only simple way to have it working over wifi is to connect it once by wire to a computer/laptop (cable with usb on the one side but a different connector on the other end), then through the http interface set up the wifi characteristics (name, security, password). I found useful also to give a fixed ip number to the printer (e.g. fixed x.x.x.9 since I set my router dhcp to give numbers starting from 10).
Download brother iprint&scan for mac. Conversely you can reset the printer but then you have to (temporarily) change your wifi to use the printer defaults (I don't recall what they are, on the HP site there should be the usuer manual to be downloaded; however, they should also be printed directly).
In this way you can connect with the printer via wireless. Then set up the printer as described above with your standard network characteristics via the interface you'll find at http://your.printer.default.number. You can set the kind of network, pass and printer ip number that you want in your wifi standard configuration.

After this, turn off the printer, set again your wifi to be your std one, turn on the printer and this should be seen.

If you have a macbook you can also create a temporary net to connect to the printer once this has been reset to defaults so to not mess up with you main wifi.
I hope this helps, good luck.
