Brother's US product specification says HL-L2460DW printing on macOS uses AirPrint and that Mac printer drivers are not provided. The Mac downloads selector may offer utilities, but it is not evidence of a separate print driver.
Confirm the exact product
HL-L2460DW and HL-L2460DWXL share a support selector, but the XL suffix changes the included toner. Both US product specifications state that macOS printing uses AirPrint. Read the full model label before choosing software or supplies.
Add it with AirPrint
- Connect the printer and Mac to the intended trusted network.
- Open macOS System Settings → Printers & Scanners → Add Printer, Scanner, or Fax.
- Select the exact HL-L2460DW device and use AirPrint where offered.
- Print a small test document before installing any optional Brother utility.
When a Brother utility is useful
Brother's live Mac downloads selector may list a full software package or management utilities. Read the package description for your macOS release; do not interpret it as a separate printer driver. If AirPrint does not discover the printer, check the network report, same-LAN access and Brother's current support instructions.
