[SOLVED] How do I make a desktop or taskbar shortcut to my scanner?

relztrah · Jan 5, 2024

When I want to scan a document I have to go to Settings>Devices>Printers and Scanners>click on my Brother printer/scanner>select scanner and then I finally see:

Is there a way to make a shortcut?

If you've installed the Brother software, just create a desktop icon and you're there.

That's what I don't understand. I downloaded and installed the whole package:

I have the printer and scanner drivers, but there is no Brother folder in my Start menu, no icons, nothing. I've downloaded software packages a dozen times and it always creates a new folder containing shortcuts to the settings, icons, etc. Not this time.

Let's make sure you did everything correctly: OSvC Header

Logging in as Admin must have made a difference. I was able to download all drivers ... and a lot of junk that I'll later uninstall. Thanks for the help. I made a donation in appreciation.
