I have a MFC-8660DN multi-function printer. There's a piece of software called the Brother Control Center that lets you initiate scans from your desktop and route the scan to a specific application. To get it...
- Brother Utilities Control Center Scanner
- Brother Control Center Mac Download
- Brother Control Centre 2 Mac Download
- Visit this Brother site.
- Choose 'USA'
- Choose your model number (MFC-8660DN)
- Choose 'United States'
- Choose 'Drivers' then 'Mac OS X (10.5)' then 'English'
- Then choose the 'Scanner Driver' and download it, then install.
- You'll have to restart your computer and a dialogue will come up. You can have the printer associated by name or IP address. I chose IP address. Then I added a name of my computer so that you can use the printer interface to send things to a particular computer.
