I Have Added A Second Brother Printer (mfc 8840d) In Addition To The Brother 549

I have added a second Brother printer (MFC 8840D) in addition to the Brother 5490CN. I can print on both but the Brother Control Center which I use for scanning does not show the 8840D. I am using Vista Pro and had to reinstall Vista from scratch last week. Before the reinstall I was able to use both printers from the Control Center. How can I fix?

I Know the Answer!
