Brother Utilities App Mac

I have a MFC-8660DN multi-function printer. There's a piece of software called the Brother Control Center that lets you initiate scans from your desktop and route the scan to a specific application. To get it..

  1. Visit this Brother site.
  2. Choose 'USA'
  3. Choose your model number (MFC-8660DN)
  4. Choose 'United States'
  5. Choose 'Drivers' then 'Mac OS X (10.5)' then 'English'
  6. Then choose the 'Scanner Driver' and download it, then install.
  7. You'll have to restart your computer and a dialogue will come up. You can have the printer associated by name or IP address. I chose IP address. Then I added a name of my computer so that you can use the printer interface to send things to a particular computer.

Update - A few weeks later I started having trouble accessing the scanning capabilities from the Mac. I spoke with Brother Support and they took me thru the following re-installation steps, which solved the problem.

  1. Delete the 'Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/Library/Preferences/Brother' folder.
  2. Delete the 'Library/Image Capture/TWAIN Data Sources/Brother TWAIN.ds' file.
  3. Delete the 'Library/Printers/Brother/Utilities/ControlCenter' and 'Library/Printers/Brother/Utilities/DeviceSelector' folders.
  4. Restart computer.
  5. Empty your trash.
  6. Re-install the Control Center following the steps above.
