Solution 1:

For USB you have to edit the /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules with root-rights and insert

# Brother scanners
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"

in top of

# The following rule will disable ...

look at lsusb for the id like 04f9 is and save the file Restart udev sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart or sudo service udev restart

good luck mick

Solution 4:

This worked for me:

wget http://download.brother.com/welcome/dlf006646/brscan4-0.4.1-5.i386.deb
wget http://download.brother.com/welcome/dlf006654/brother-udev-rule-type1-1.0.0-1.all.deb

dpkg -i brother-udev-rule-type1*.deb

Follow these instructions.

In the Brother website download page, you should check for matching version (MFC-7360n), I think brscan4 should work.
