   It is necessary to both have the Brother scanner enabled via the scanner   
   driver AND to help sane be able to FIND the scanner on the network. The   
   instructions for configuring sane to find a network scanner are similar   
   but different from a USB scanner on a network device.   
      
   I would do all of that w/ the Pi MX spin as opposed to some other system   
   on the Pi.   
      
   Sane or simple-scan can only recognize the networked Brother for   
   scanning if it has both the proper driver AND the proper network access.   
      
   That is a completely 'separate' process than using such as CUPS and the   
   cups browser configuration for a printer.  printer != scanner
