No scan tab shows up when I add my MFC-8890DW to my mac

I'm using the latest MacOS trying to add a printer/scanner that is on a different subnet. I'm in the 10.0.1.x while the printer /scanner is in the 10.0.0.x subnet. When I try adding the printer by IP it adds correctly, but without the scanning tab (scanning functions). I tried to sue the control Center to configure the scanner, but after trying to add it, the left most side of the window stays blank, it does not says Network/USB in the next tab and the last tab just says online. This mac previously had it's scan functions before it was moved to a different subnet.

"Hi @cakebuns ,

Are you using the Brother MFC-8890DW printer drivers applicable to the OS or are the generic Mac drivers applicable to your printer model installed?"
