since installing Ventura my Brother MFC-J5330DW will not scan

I am sorry you are having scanner problems. If you will bear with me, I will offer some things to consider which may be useful. Whenever we install an operating system upgrade or some OS updates, printers and scanners will often stop working. Then a new OS compliant software must be installed. Experience has shown that many printer/scanner manufacturers are very slow to provide updated software. What you can do is to thoroughly check the vendor's web site for updated compliant software that works. If none is available, then you should ask when it will be released. If that doesn't work, you can try scanning using Apple's Image Capture app. It will scan, but is not full featured. Another alternative is to download and try the full featured scanner software from VueScan. You can try it for free. It will show a watermark until you purchase it. I bought it and can recommend it. I have no association with VueScan. Good luck.

Hi,

I had the same problem. First I removed the printer in settings (printer&scanner) and then I reinstalled the printer (add Printer, Scanner or Fax...). After reinstalling i have now the driver version 3.0 (Brother MFC-J5330DW-AirPrint

) befor reinstalling it was 2.0.

Scanner works fine now. I hope this solution is helpful.

See the following from Brother Support: https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadlist.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=mfcj5330dw_us_eu_as&os=10077

I use the Brother iPrint&Scan app (available in the Mac App Store) and find that it works well with Ventura and I like the features/options that it offers.

Hello.

I have the same proble. It does not even "wake up" the scanner. Printing is fine. I installed the latest driver. Any other idea? Do i maybe have to clean out a .plist file or a cache?

Thanks for your input!

Hi,

thanks for the suggestion. I checked, i have V3. I reinstalled it after the problem occurred for the first time. My work around is now Brother iPrint&iScan. It works, albeit not very comfortably.

any other ideas from anyone?

Thanks
