Brother Control Center not functional with MFC after upgrading to leopard

Hi. mine is doing the same thing. The icon for the control center is up in the right hand corner of the screen, there is a brief flash when I turn on the computer of the control center logo - but nothing happens when I try to click on the icon. I have tried to reinstall the driver. Is there a solution? I have had to use my laptop to scan - the icon still works on the laptop.

Thanks!

Hi mfidd,

Were you able to find a fix? I am suffering from the same problem. The control center worked before I left on a trip and I came back and now it is just sitting there up in the right hand corner and I am unable to open it. I would appreciate any help you might be able to offer.

Thank you.

This worked great for me too, as long as my printer usb is connected directly to the computer.

My problem now is...When I add the bonjour printer (MFC-5460CN) through my airport extreme usb I can no longer scan.

Any help would be appreciated.

Just learned on the Airport Forum that wireless scanning is not possible.

If you find the control center in HD>Library>Printers>Brother>Utilities>ControlCenter.
You can't move the icon to your Applications, it would not open (at least for me!)
You can have it in your Applications by making an Alias and moving the alias to your Applications.
Then you can double click the icon in the Applications folder and it would open!

I have tried every thing in this thread but still had no joy trying to get control centre to open. It's showing as there but will not open, it flashes on start up and then disappears!

I have a Brother 8065DN....I'm really starting to get frustrated as I can't scan as things are at the moment...

PLEASE HELP.......

Please ignore my last post I have now resolved the situation 🙂

What did you do to fix it? I tried all the suggestions in this thread but it still doesn't work for me.

this ParkerWallace fix worked perfectly for me and my iMac 24, running Leopard. Thanks so much. I've been pulling my hair out trying to find this fix. Jon

I can't get Control Center to run either. Followed all the re-install steps described above, to no avail. intel iMac, 105.4.

I have the same problem with the controlcenter. Hope someone can help...Thank you!!

Perfect answer,
Thanx

Please help! I hate the Brother control center! I want nothing to do with Brother ever again. How do I get everything, and I mean everything related to Brother off my laptop. I have learned my lesson!

I am using a Brother MFC 235C with Tiger. I too have had scanning problems. It seems that there are definitely multiple bugs in the Brother software. For instance, starting the MFC wakes the computer from sleep (I accept that) but also generates an alert message from the Image Capture application that "the device cannot be found". This despite the fact that Image Capture is not even running! This alert cannot be dismissed by hitting OK; you have to launch Activity Monitor and Quit the process called "Twain Bridge". This I do not accept!
My suggestions:
• Make sure the computer is awake before starting the MFC.
• The Control Centre icon should be in the Menu Bar - not on the desk top or any other folder.
• Scan using Image Capture - it's a better application than Control Centre.

Hi
I also have the same problem with control centre. It comes up when starting up but then it doesn't open up. Image Capture doesn't work very well.
I have contacted Brother but all their tips came no nothing.
Can someone help?
Thanks.
