A bit adjacent to a printer question, but my old pensioner dad just got himself a Brother printer/scanner combo but the app that lets him scan (iprint&scan) doesn't let him preview scans or immediately save portions of a scan as pictures (a thing he used to do with his Epson scanner to scan stamps from his collection, in batches). Is there any software out there that lets him do those things? It gets quite confusing for him to try to save images to crop later without messing something up, and doing the scans individually takes too long.

Oh cool the print and scan software from Brother also seems to preclude printing directly from a webpage or somesuch, you HAVE to use the software to print?

For Android you want the Brother Print Service Plugin to enable printing from apps.

My dad would never use his phone to handle printing, it's all Windows

I guess I must be misunderstanding the issue then. The printer's connected and recognized, but doesn't print when not using the scanning software?

Does it show up in the Windows print settings? Is it set as default printer? Does the browser have the right printer selected?

Far as I know it's installed and set as default. I even specified and picked out the individual printer when trying to print from his browser.
