Maxify MB5020 Scanner not working

Jenny44 — Sat, 19 Feb 2022 15:50:18 GMT

If I reboot my computer and printer, the scanner works, however, once I send a print job to the printer, the scanner no longer works. I'm running on macOS Monterey 12.2.1, and I've installed the drivers and software for macOS 11. I couldn't find the same for 12. Also when printing I no longer have the black/white print options and in System Preferences, the printer no longer shows SCAN. HELP

Thanks Patrick. It seems quite a shame to no longer support such a well built and wonderful printer. However, I was able to bring it back to full function. I installed the MacOS 11 software, changed the link from LAN to WIRELESS, and for some reason, everything now works. Go figure. Hope this helps someone else keep their Maxify printer around for a little longer.
