    Brother MFC-8440 Printer/Scanner/Fax is not found in Windows 11 by Windows Fax and Scan...


    Hello,So I moved to Windows 11 recently and hooked up existing devices. Everything except one works. I have this Brother MFC-8440 multifunction MFC Printer, Scanner, Fax machine. While I was using Windows 10, I used this MFC for all three functions. But after I moved to windows 11, MFC's print function works but NOT the scanner or the fax. I downloaded and installed Windows Fax and Scan as they had removed Windows Fax and Scan from windows 11. Per recommendation, I installed this but when I try to scan a document, the application tells "No Scanners Were Detected". Why I cannot use the MFC's sc

    :)

    Scanner on Brother MFC-465CN refuses to run - printer works fine.

    Trying to get the scanner on my Brother MFC-465CN to run, but having no luck at all.

    Have tried all solutions listed on this thread (Redirecting) - but cannot get the scanner to work. Had no trouble getting the printer to work.

    The Brother MFC-465CN machine is connected via USB cable to my computer. I am running Windows 10 Home - 64bit version 21H2.

    • I have tried installing numerous drivers, checking the scanner after each installation, without success
    • tried running setup programs normally, as well as in 'Compatibility mode' (compatible with Windows 7 - as well as running them as Admin.)
    • tried disabling my firewall
    • tried keeping the machine off & unplugged until just before driver was installed
    Any new help or suggestions would be appreciated.
