I have been using the Brother MFC 8650D for several years now. For
scanning, I was using The Brother ControlCenter 2. When I converted to
Snow Leopard, ControlCenter did not transfer to the new system. I tried
to download that from the Brother site, but navigating the site seems to
be more obscure than ever. I have not been able to find a download
option with control center in the name.

What can I do next?

Are you sure about that number? I can't find it.

You don't need BCC. You _should_ be able to scan directly from the printer
app; look in the upper right corner of the printer app, and you should see a
'scaner' button. That will launch the scanner app. If you go to System
Preferences/Print & Fax and select the MFD icon, you should see a 'scan'
button which will also take you to the scanner app. Finally, Image Capture
should also work.

Have you searched this link?
http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/SearchResult.aspx?reg=us&c=us&lang=en&FLG=1&TXT=MFC

And have you downloaded the last 10.6.x update for Brother from the
Apple site? http://support.apple.com/kb/DL894

Your MFC model isn't listed anywhere on the Brother sites, but it seems
as if all the MFC 86xx models are using the same updates.

So I'll recommend you to install from the original CD and then run the
updater from Apple. And at last let the Brother softwareupdater from the
Control Center update the software if possible.

If this won't work, I'm afraid that your model is so old that Brother
won't make more updates for it...

Cheers, Erik Richard

Additionally, you should be able to scan from Preview.app.
