My HL-L2380DW printer scanner stopped working after I upgraded to Catalina

How do I get my Printer Scanner to work again after I have upgraded my iMac (retina 5k, 27-inch 2019) to Catalina from Mojavie. Now my printer doesn't scan, it barely prints now. Catalina is not working well at all. My Printer is a Brother HL-L2380DW. Can you help me please.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.14

HP 6800 and Catalina, printer works, scanner doesn't. Neither show in Image Capture I have a new MacBook with Catalina and an HP 8600 printer/scanner. The printer works but the scanner does not. The scan function is not visible under printer/scanners in System Preferences, but the printer is. I see that using Image Capture is a work around but my printer/scanner does not show up in devices nor is there an option to add it? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Lexmark scanner suddenly won't work under Catalina I have a Lexmark CX410de multifunction printer. I attempted to scan a document but find the scanner function is no longer operating. I deleted the printer then added it back under Preferences. The printer no longer has a Scan tab on the icon. I then hard wired the printer to the MacMini and was able to install the printer with the scan function tab. But now I find if the printer is not cabled to the Mini I cannot scan. The print function works wirelessly but not so for the scanner. Any ideas? I think I've exhausted every idea including downloading and installing new Lexmark drivers and to be honest I don't know if the printer is using the new dirvers when I add a new printer
