Printer no Longer Supported by Brother
On 10/11/24 shortly after I had upgraded my Mac computer to the MACOS 15.0.1 operating system my MFC-J985DW printer/scanner could no longer be accessed using your latest version of the iPrint&Scan app that I downloaded from the Apple App Store. I went to the download section of your website to see if Brother had an updated driver for that Mac operating system and there was no update. I then called support twice to seek assistance with restoring access to my Brother printer using my computer. The first call lasted 1 hour, 14 minutes and 42 seconds. The person I spoke with had absolutely no idea how to help me and it was obvious from the conversation he was either talking to another person in technical support or using a messaging app to attempt to get assistance. The entire conversation and the steps I performed on my computer were an absolute waste of time and he eventually hung up on me. I tried subsequently to find the information I was seeking by searching on the Internet. After approximately 2 hours of searching the Internet and finding no solution, I decided to call customer support again. The second time the female person I spoke with had such an accent it was impossible to understand her, so I interrupted her and told her I need some specific answers. I asked her to ascertain if Brother had a driver update for MACOS 15.0.1 or 15.0. Again she apparently either spoke with or used your internal messaging system to ask, I guess, someone in technical support if there was a driver. She told me there was none. I then asked her if Brother would be releasing an updated driver in the future. She again spoke/messaged to seek assistance for someone in technical support. She said that Brother would not be releasing an updated driver in the future.
