Brother MFC-8840DN and OS X Catalina
I have a Brother MFC-8840DN network printer/scanner/fax machine that I've been using with my Mac since Snow Leopard.
With Catalina, Apple is dropping support for 32-bit applications, which would include the driver and the scanner/fax application (both from Brother).
Will I be able to get my printer to work with Catalina?
After upgrading, the existing printer instances (CUPS and BR-Script3) worked as they had in OS X Mavericks (and earlier). Both suffered from the inability to remove the job from the queue after printing, but this isn't related to Catalina.
I created a new printer instance, using the Brother MFC-8840D BR-Script3
driver and everything works as expected, including clearing the queue.
Note: OS X does not recognize the device's scanner feature, so I cannot use Preview to Import from scanner...
