I was able to get it to work through the "Windows Fax and Scan Program"I simply used the network install for the printer and once the device was installed, I could control it from the program listed above.

On a Mac scanning actually is in the printer driver itself. You have to go hunting for it in System Preferences (in OS X Mountain Lion) under the Print and Scan preference. There, once you look at the preferences for the Brother MFC-J435W printer you will see that there is both a print and a scan section to the preference pane. If you click on the word scan (at the top next to print) a button appears in the preference window that says Open Scanner. Clicking there opens a scanner window with pretty basic functionality, but at least it does do both black and white was well as color scans.

I use Paperport which came with the printer. It works great, and it is easy to use.

I have snow leopard. I think I went to Epson's website and accessed the directions for the scanner. I'm not very tech-savvy, but it wasn't really all that complicated.

You need to follow the instructions at the site above *exactly* as they're written. What is it you "don't see"? The scanner in your Mac's settings window? The driver on the website above?

Download an updated driver from hp. But it's hit or miss. Doesn't always work.I eventually used a cable to print.

Hi, As much as I've used my scanner it has always only worked when connected to my computer. I have the portable model and I'm not sure how the desktop works.

No scanner on this one. Its a very cheap printer. I got mine free with a computer purchase and it only lasted a few years.

I use the software I already had installs on my widows conputer. The software is Microsoft Image Viewer, or something along those lines. I click import from scanner, and the printer/scanner is read.. So find some scanning software on your device, and look for the printer icon and scan, hope it helps!

Just now trying to set this up. Printer / scanner functions work fine. So does the FAX, but I can't install any Epson FAX software or drivers. Don't REALLY need that (fax works fine from the printer control panel), but its annoying.

Open the top it's below the glass. Should be an indent on each side of the printer. It lifts up kinda hard and remember to hold onto the glass scanner top.

Sorry I can't help you. I never got the printer to work at all so returned it.

check what your printer is on. The printer can usually work it for you. Brenda

I had the same problem. However, I think I had to reset the printer and turn it off and on. Then it recognized.
