I generally like Brother printers but sometimes the software is less great.

I have a Brother DCP-L2550DW which is very good but for some reason the scan to PC function no longer works over the network. Printing still works as expected in all cases, but ControlCenter4 can't communicate via the network anymore. It works fine if I connect a USB cable so I just do that when I need to scan.

Did you disable SNMP? I used to have that disabled but recently control center always wants to check the status from SNMP so I ended up re-enabling it and now it works just fine again.

solving or working around software issues is for some reason more satisfying than fighting intentionally disabled, non documented, functions.
