Hi,
Did you install the Mac driver for MFC? The MFC comes with driver for windows and Mac. Place the Mac Driver disk to DVD slot and run the installation for your MFC printer. Follow the instruction to complete the installation.
When you try to print something, make sure the MFC printer is selected.
If you've done all of this and still not able to print, please turn off your MFC, wait 15 seconds and turn on again to see problem solve or not.
Hope this will help. Thanks for reading.

Printing using MacBook Pro
Take the provided USB cable that came with the printer and connect it to the macbook pro. From this point go to your system preferences in your mac. Go to the printer setting, from there it should recognize your printer and you will have a variety of options, including setting it to your default printer.

MacBook Pro won't print to my Epson Stylus Photo 300 - it used to
Hi,
The flashing green light normally means that the computer is sending information to the printer.
If the printer is receiving information, but is not printing, the cartridges may need replacing, or the printer may be faulty.
Do you have a friend with a printer? Can you try printing to their printer just to check your computer is ok?
