Why won’t my Brother MFC-7860DW Printer WiFi scan ( it prints wirelessly) with Apple ISO15?

Since downloading & installing OS15 scanning no longer works wirelessly; Printing still works wirelessly so it's not a Wifi network issue.

Anyone else have this problem?


TNX,

The latest supported printer and scanner drivers for the Brother MFC-7860DW are for macOS 10.15 Catalina. Sometimes, a Catalina driver can be used with a few later operating system versions, but that would be experimental.

Unless Image Capture or possibly Brother iPrint&Scan can be made to work, you could perhaps have a look at a third-party paid driver called VueScan (https://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/brother_mfc_7860dw.html).
