Are you sure you have the right driver. The list above does not show 
your MFC-J835DW. Go to printer drivers at:

Select last printer in list. Do same for fax drivers and verify you have 
right driver. Looks like driver for my printer is in same group.

May not help, I have an MFC J6710DW but its hooked up usb. I am not 
familar with WIFI hookup.
