Right now it defaults to

Brother HL-L3300CDW

when it should default to

eSCL Brother HL-L3300CDW series

how do i fix this? I'm assuming it's editing a configuration file somewhere. Just not sure where.

Sorry about the poor image quality.

I should clarify that I only have one physical scanner/printer. Document Scanner is just defaulting to the wrong option in the scanner software.

no , it is much simpler, basically press super key or move the mouse to the mint logo🥸, then see the prefrences tab hover over it🤓, you should see "preferred application" once you click on it you will find it mr or ms @andrewta 🧐
