The web interface includes an interesting report page: (on my network).

I also was able to get the scan-to-Machine button to work from the MFC, I was surprised that worked. I haven't tried receiving faxes on the iMac.

To clarify (someone asked): I am able to print, scan and send fax from my iMac.

With 10.5 you don't need the printer drivers, but you still need to install TWAIN drivers for scanning: I re-enable the 'scan to server' button with OS X 10.5. I didn't have to deal with the 'Brother Control Center' complexity and odd behavior. I was able to quickly see the Brother printer and the drivers installed seamlessly. I downloaded just the CUPS and PPD drivers from the 7820N support site.

I took a different approach with my 10.3.9 iBook.

The PC gets a well known OCR package, the Mac gets something called Presto (OCR on the Mac is not a big market).

I run as a non-admin user, I didn't test it as an admin user. It starts but crashes after about 10 seconds. As of October 2008 the OS X downloaded utilities does install a "remote Setup" application that is supposed to do the same thing as the web UI.

The PC gets a full configuration utility, the Mac uses a web tool (works fine) that is documented in an exceedingly obscure place.

If that works at all it's a system level option, so this doesn't make sense. Each time you get to choose the scan to machine option.

If you install the default Brother Control Center software, you have to configure the printer for every user (one time on initial login).

It's a pretty darned serious bug.A few other comments on the problematic Mac software: It's astounding that Brother doesn't even mention this on their web site help files.

(This is publicly downloadable, not secret, you can chang pw.) Then from the home page click Network Configuration then click on configuremDNS, then name the machine (BrotherMFC works).

You need the admin un of 'admin' and password of 'access'. Use your browser and the IP address of the brother to get the web UI. Chapter 7 describes the browser interface. How do you define this? Well, to make a long story short, dig through the CD and find the help file called ALL_EngNet.pdf. Without this name Bonjour/Rendezvous doesn't work. They didn't define something called a 'mDNS' name. It took about a half hour of late night hacking and googling and amazon review reading to figure out that Brother misconfigured the printer. The printer didn't appear in my network display (Printer Setup Utility, Print Center). Bonjour (was Rendezvous) install didn't work at all. If you don't disable the firewall, you get a spurious 'check cable' message. The firewall blocks the scan to machine capability. If you install XP SP2 you install a firewall. I'd recommend doing the CD install first then downloading and updating from the downloads.

The XP install went rather well, but I realized too late the downloaded drivers didn't include the OCR software.

In both cases I downloaded the very latest software patches from Brother's site. I installed the brother to both machines. I have both XP and OS X Tiger (10.4.2) machines on my home LAN. OS X - rather nasty setup problems, October 7, 2005 It's fixable if you know the magic trick. I think it might turn out to be a good device, but there's a very nasty bug that prevents the ethernet interface from working with a Mac. I just bought a Brother MFC-7820N 5-in-1 Network Monochrome Laser Multifunction Center from buy.com. Remember to deal with the XP SP2 firewall problem though. After months of use I do think this device actually works better with OS X than with XP SP2 but I expect the newest release will be a very good buy. Under certain conditions our home security system modem answers the phone! It has nothing to do with the MFC.īrother was slow to pay my rebate, it took over 8 weeks. It turned the home security system we "inherited" has a hidden modem used by the security company. I had complained previously about a "bug" where the fax was picking up incoming calls despite being disabled. (The device can't communicate with the scanner software, and produces a misleading error message about a problem with the ethernet cable.) It appears Brother has fixed the Bonjour bug in its newest releases, and the Brother support site now mentions the bug with the XP SP2 firewall.
