6. No problems here with a new Brother printer/scanner/fax

Installed the matching driver (from http://support.brother.com), and can scan and print and fax without hassle.

There are lots of ways of scanning, but System Preferences / Printers & Scanners is what I use the most. You might have to do an 'add printer' the first time (the '+' at the bottom of the list of printers). But then your device should show up and include a 'scan' button.

No apps needed after the driver install.
