Brother Scanner error message.
After much time with Brother Tech support. The solution finally turned out to be as simple as downloading this file to reset the drivers.

I am trying to print coupons and it keeps telling me it can't because my properties are set to "Keep Printed Documents" so when I can in and uncheck it, it doesnt fix the problem and when I open it back up..."keep printed documents" still has a check next to it even though i unchecked it and hit "ok". Grrrrr!
If you have a Brother printer please change the following:
Start -> Control Panel -> Printers and Faxes -> Right click on your selected printer and select "properties"
Go to Advanced tab -> Print Processor
Change the settings from "BRMFC" print to "WinPrint" and set default to "raw" and Click Apply
Now go back to uncheck "Keep Printed Documents" and attempt to print the coupon.
I am a big fan of coupons.com, their tech support guy sent me these instructions. Good Luck!!

I own a brother mfc 420 cn, the problem I have is that I can print once then it goes offline never to print again. Once I redo the drivers by uninstalling then reinstalling I then can print once then it goes back offline again. Very frustrating, thinking of buying a new printer and shun brother all together. I'm using windows vista and the printer is networked, any insight would be most helpful, I also tried the firewall and ip address but nothing wrong there
My first solotution was to reinstall the printer as a new printer. But that is uncessary. The fix is as easy as changing the IP address the in Port.
The problem is the the IP address for your wirelss is not static. and when it changes, the printer does not recognize the new IP address. When this occurs. go the the printer folder ( in the control panel) and click on 'add new priter'. Then select 'add a network wirless printer . NO NEED TO INSTALL THE PRINTER...you just want to see the IP address.
Note the IP address.
GO to the printer, click on the right mouse and select 'properties'
Click on Port
You will see the current port already highlighted.
Click on ' configure port' and change the IP address under "printer name or IP address.
Click OK.
Problem solved
Good luck.

How do I scan to a pdf file? I have a Brother MFC-240C. When I push the scan button, the only options there are to scan are;
1. scan to email
2. scan to a file (which scans to jpeg file)
3. scan to OCR
4. scan to image
There is no option to scan to pdf file. Thanks.

What you seem to want to do is not possible. Let me explain:
A file that has its data in the Adobe company Portable Document Format (or a pdf file) contains various objects that are described to the computer using a superset of the PostScript language, some of them can be images.
A file that comes from the scanner is first a very organized set of pixels and gets put into a more compact form by using a well known process as defined by the Joint Motion Picture Experts group. This is a roundabout way of saying that it has a format that isn't PDF.
What you CAN do:
a) open the jpeg file with a Macintosh, using the Print command from the file menu make a pdf file that has the image in it.
b) buy and install a PDF printer driver on a Windows machine, and then follow the same process as A above.
c) Use your favorite PDF creation program to make a file with the image embedded.
