Brother iPrint&Scan

This will not work on printers/scanners that are more than about 6 years old. Terrible UI. There’s no reason I shouldn’t be able to scan on my old Brother scanner (I could recently) - it’s just a decision they’ve made to not support older hardware.

Brother's software is useless. Fails to connect, fails to function. Constant waste of time and frustration.

Since the update 4 days ago, my DS-740D has constand connection errors.

There is no options to for scanning with Mac OS 15

After upgrading Mac to iOS 15 the scan feature no longer works. Both Mac and Printer are wired via ethernet to network and I can still print. Checked cables and switch. Wasted bunch of time with Brother support to no avail. It looks like the iPrint& Scan app has not been updated to the latest OS. Brother says to “check back periodically” to see if there has been an update. Seems like a bunch of stabs in the dark.

I’ve been using this with my mac for about 3 years now, and most everything is good. I have had one long term problem (highlighter on documents basically render unreadable in the scanned version), and one newer issue (maybe since macOS 15 my saved workflows randomly give errors about being unable to save to the location, and point to some folder underneath the app, rather than my account’s Documents folder. I can re-save the workflow and it is fine briefly, but the problem returns). I’d love if I was able to see the text that was highlighted on the paper, and that would earn another star. If I can permanently resolve the “unable to save” issue, it’ll be up to 5 stars for me…

This app is useless, and the product itself its very very low quality, inconsistent and faulty, both, software and hardware, make yourselves a favor and avoid them!!!!!

I have a Brother printer and need to scan something so I got this app. I can't even get it to open; it just crashes immediatly. The app "Physical Scanner Connect" (also found here in the App Store) seems to work for me though.

The software does not have even basic functionality. It cannot scan 2 sides, it cannot re-arrange, it cannot do anything that one would expect in 2024. Hardware 2024. Software 2001.

It is stated here that this application would be ~300MB. It actually requires 700MB of disk space for arguably very limited, simple tasks. The utility of the application with a corresponding Brother printer is fine. It’s a shame that is misrepresented in the description here and actually requires so much space to achieve this, though.
