Scanner not available on MacBook Pro 2023

I have a Brother Multifunction printer from which Wi-Fi printing is not a problem, however, the scanner option does not appear in the printer window when I want to scan. I have reinstalled the printer a number of times to no avail.

How do I get the scanner to show up on my Mac?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.5

I cannot make my MacBook Air scan on my brother printer/scanner MFC-J1010DW I have had this printer scanner (Brother MFC-J1010DW) since last December, but I cannot make it print or scan using the iPrint&Scan software available from the App Store. I have installed it and reinstalled it several times with no success. I know it's on my home wifi network because I was able to update the printer's firmware from the Brother site using my MacBook Air to do so, but the app seems incompatible. The only way I can make it print is the using the command key and the P key. But I really need to scan some stuff, and I have no way to do it. Is there some other software I can use? My MacBook is up to date with OS15.6.1. I tried getting help from Brother, but they are hard to get info from and insist the software should work. It doesn't! It just says it cannot find the scanner. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Can't connect scanner to new 27" iMac I am not able to connect the scanner function of my HP printer to my new 27" Mac. On my last Mac it was very easy and involved only the Printers & Scanners option under Settings. Using that option I can connect the printer, but not the scanner. Any advice would be appreciated.

Have you tried using the Brother iPrint&Scan app? It is available in the Mac App Store. Open the Mac App Store from the Apple menu and search for "Brother iPrint&Scan."

Thank you!!! That worked like magic. Such a simple solution yet I don't see it when searching on line.

Thanks again.
