Did you jiggle the cable :-) http://bishont.com/index.php?entry=entry131106-162219 (Excerpt from the blog): If you're trying to install a Brother MFC scanner in Linux, and are having issues getting xsane to recognize your scanner, try running /usr/local/Brother/sane/setupSaneScan2 -i at the command line. This makes sure that the driver/scanner is being recognized by sane Not sure if you tried that or not, but thought I would offer it up.
