Mac Desktop/Brother Scanner Problems.
« on: Saturday 13 October 18 16:01 BST (UK) »
I am having problems reconnecting my scanner to my computer after maintenance.

It's a Brother DSmobile 820w scanner and Mac running MacOS Mojave 10-14 (I upgraded hoping that would help but, no).

It appears to download from the Brother website and install but, upon opening for use says "incomplete or missing".

Suggestions appreciated.

Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.

Thanks for the info but, still no further forward. 

Will investigate further in case I've missed something.

If it were me....  I'd remove Scanner from list, then add it!

I'm with hallmark on that!
Uninstall the printer/scanner then after a reboot install as a new installation.

I wonder do you have the correct driver.  It could be the present driver you have is not compatible with updated Os v10.1.4.  You would have to match the driver to your particular model  It should be a a TWAIN driver.

Have finally been informed by Brother that the driver for this will not be available until late October.  Thank you for your trouble.

Not too long to wait, fingers crossed it will do the trick.
