I'm using a Brother MFC 420CN (printer, fax, scanner) and can't get the scanner to work

I'm running Lion 10.7.2 and downloaded the latest twain plug-in for lion from Brother. I don't know where the twain driver went after I downloaded it. I searched the computer for it and it doesn't show up. I wanted to drag it into the import folder photoshop plug-ins folder in Photoshop CS5. There is no Twain plug-in the folder now. when I try to scan from the Brother Control Center I get error messages and do what the messages suggest but nothing works.I don't use the fax, I occasionally use the printer and the printer still works. There is only 1 USB cable that drives the Brother machine.

Plug in the usb lead.

I want to fax from my mac using a Brother MFC-7220 Printer/fax

I'm currently using a Brother MFC-7220 Printer/Fax machine with my Mac Mini, attached via USB.
It works great as a printer, but I want to fax from within Mac Applications using the 7220.
I tried going "File/Print, then selecting the PDF pull down menu in the lower left corner of the print management window. I selected "Fax PDF..." but the system comes back with a "No Fax Modems Found.." message.
Any suggestions/solutions ?
Thanks

You may need to install the Brother drivers.
By default, Mac OS X only installs the printer drivers, ignoring other features of multi-function devices. By installing the vendor's driver you gain access to the other features.
In this case you should find that installing the driver enables a new printer option - Brother MFC-7220 (Fax) - which can be used to send your fax. So now faxing is as simple as choosing 'Print' and selecting the 'Fax' option from the list of available printers.

When I try to install my Brother MFC-8810DW printer through a wireless network I get error:-30886

When I try to install my Brother MFC-8810DW printer through a wireless network I get error:-30886. The computer recognizes the printer, and asks me to identify the software, but I get the same error message repeatedly.

That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.

I am using windows 7 and can't get the print drives to load for F2210 printer

I am using windows 7 and can't get the print drives to load for F2210 printer and I keep receiving different fatal error codes.

Hello @Imvertical
Welcome to the forums!
I read about how you're attempting to install your Deskjet F2210 on your Windows 7 system and receive Fatal Error codes. I will do my best to help and make some suggestions for you to try.
To being, try a standard copy from the unit to see if it will copy. If copies work, continue troubleshooting. If not, let me know what happened when you made a copy.
Next:
Perform a Level 3 uninstall.
There are 2 ways you can run the uninstall:
From Original installation CD:
1. Insert CD into drive, and then cancel the installer
2. Click Start and open 'Computer', and then right click on the CD drive and open
3. Open folder Util
4. Open folder CCC
5. If you have an HP computer run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have a non-HP computer run the L4uninstall.exe
6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
7. Run Disk cleanup from Accessories\ System Tools
8. Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
9. Download the full feature software and drivers: HP Deskjet F2200/F2224 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver
10. Run the download to reinstall the printer
If software was downloaded and extracted to your system:
1. Click Start and type %temp% in the run field
2. Look for, and open the folder starting with 7z (Example: 7zS2356) (If there is more than one, choose the most recent folder)
3. Open folder Util
4. Open folder CCC
5. If you have an HP computer run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have a non-HP computer run the L4uninstall.exe
6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
7. Run Disk cleanup from Accessories\ System Tools
8. Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
9. Download the full feature software and drivers: HP Deskjet F2200/F2224 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver
10. Run the download to reinstall the printer
Please let me know if the installation worked after the Level 3 uninstall.
Good luck and have a nice Wednesday!

I have a Canon Pixma MP560 that I would like to link up with my I Mac (snow leopard 10.6.8) wirelessly. The printer was owned by another person previously and I do not have the set up CD-ROM. Will this printer be compatible and can I download the required software from the internet?
Thank you.

I can't get the volume to work when I use firefox. It does work on internet explorer. What is going on?

I downloaded firefox in order to do some online training that I couldn't open in any other browser. I can't get the volume to work in this browser. I can use internet explorer and the volume works. But I can only do the training through firefox.

You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.<br />
Current Firefox versions use the plugin-container process to run plugins, so you need to check the volume setting for the plugin-container process.<br />
You will only see the Firefox program or the Plugin Container in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.<br />

It is just as the message says. Your video card is not compatible.
You can add a compatible graphics card and use FCP X with your mac. I can't suggest which one, but maybe other people on this forum can guide.
And you may also get good suggestions in the Mac Pro forum.

I have an Imac running snow leopard and have recently installed a cannon i-sensys lbp7750Cdn printer since then I can't get the printer working and the air port has lost the DNS servers; if it ever had them!!! but it dose not look happy. Can any one help

Snow Leopard breaks quite a few drivers - my Canon exhibited the same problem.
I eventually found updated drivers on the Canon website. You can try that with the HP, but if the all-in-one is more than a year or so old, don't hold your breath.
You can also try Software Update to see if it will offer new drivers, or failing that go to the Support Downloads site and search for HP updates.
In fact there's a new one for HP at the top of the list just now.
You may not necessarily want the latest one, though - check the specs to see if your model is covered; if not, search for the previous update etc.

IMac OSX 10.9.5 Shows Brother MFC 8710DW Printer Is "Offline" and "Not Connected T

I have a Brother MFC 8710 DW that I've had for the past 4 months. It works perfectly fine with my other devices (iPad, iPhone, Windows PC and Macbook Pro) but it doesn't work with my iMac OSX 10.9.5. I did the things listed below but it keeps on telling me that the printer is not connected to my computer and whenever I check its status, it keeps on saying "offline." I've tried to contact Apple and they said that it's Brother's problem and that I should speak with them. However, when I called Brother, they said that it's Apple's problem. I'm at lost on what I need to do. As much as I love my iMac, I am tempted to return it back. Please help.
Things I've done so far but did not fix the problem:
1. Unplugged the printer, iMac and router and plugged it back in after a few minutes.
2. Removed the printer from my iMac and added it back.
3. Reinstalled the software from Brother.
4. Repaired the disk.
5. Plugged the printer and router directly to the wall.
6. Turned off and restarted my iMac and printer.
7. Downloaded the most recent OSX software.

It sounds unusual that you have been able to remove the Brother from Printers & Scanners on the iMac and add it back again, yet get a printer offline message.
Since you mention a router, is the Brother connected to it via a physical cable, such as USB? Or do you have a wireless router and the printer is connected to it via WiFi?
On the iMac, could you also open System Information (located in Applications > Utilities) and select Printers in the left column. If the Brother is the only printer on the iMac then its information will appear in the right pane. If you have more than one printer, then you will have a list of those printers in the top right pane. Select the Brother to see its information in the bottom right pane. Can you copy this information and paste back here. And since the MacBook Pro is printing okay, can you perform the same action on it so I can compare the setup for the same printer.

I have a photosmart d110a or d110b printer and can't get the e-print to work. How do I do it?

What proedures do I need to do to get the e-print function of the aforementioned printer to work?
