I don't exactly recall which Brother MFP I configured years ago, but it
was an odd encounter.  I'm fuzzy on the details, but this is
approximately what I remember I went through.

First I needed to go here:
http://support.brother.com/g/s/id/linux/en/download_scn.html

You need the right brscan package for your MFP.  Then you need to run a
brsaneconfig tool form that brscan package, where you provide the IP
address or hostname of your MFP plus the name you want to give the
device.  And then it should work with xsane, simple-scan and gimp via
the sane framework.
