There must be something wrong with the TWAIN driver. Brother has a patch to solve this for Windows which seems to work... but not for OS X!
I've spent 1.5 hours on the phone with Brother, and they don't have any online tech support ... Any ideas?

I have noticed the same problem with my Brother MFC 7820 N, connected via network (but old fashioned ethernet cables - not wireless).
Error codes read: MWT012 and/or CC031, depending on the application.
First, I was shocked and confused as
- printing worked properly
- scanning did not.
The solutions - which at least works in my case - has some absence of logics, but you do not need to understand everything in life...
I realised (after unsuccessfully reinstalling the usual software/suites/new drivers) that the network IP of the MFC hs changed (without any active action of mine - except some runs of ONYX and/or Maintenance 3.7, to clean up the system in general).
When I first installed my MFC, I noticed it received the internal network IP:
192.168.0.3
which I blocked into my Safari Menue in order to directly call the printer (to tell him that I care...and to read the consumption of toner etc...)
Occasionally clicking on the menue button for it, guess what: no printer any longer under IP 192.168.0.3!
It must have decided to move to another IP without telling me!
I found it again at IP 192.168.0.5.
So I called him up, and forced him to rechange the IP back to the old one.
Guess even further:
Scanning works again!
And his (never call him an it - he has life) printing abilities weren't changed either!
So I simply blocked any further attempt to understand the Why's (prining yes but not scanning, then both priniting and scanning possible after the reset of the IP).
Resume: To overcome MWT012 / CC031: simply remind your Brother MFC to his old IP number!
