The one way I did manage to get the scanner to work was to a USB flash drive. It quickly sucked in a handful of sheets, scanned both sides, and wrote them to a file on the stick. If all else fails, I can work with it that way. But I'd really like to let xsane manage the process.
Which sane backend are you using?Most new scanners support airscan, so try installing sane-airscan. Note that for your scanner to be discovered you need avahi-daemon running. (Or maybe you just need avahi-utils).
Brother generally offers proprietary drivers, including a Sane backend. Did you install that?
