You appear to be using the current version of software from Brother. Are you connecting over a network, and do you have a firewall installed?

Just for grins, can you disable your firewall for a short time and try the scanner? I use an HP product, which scans just fine but which cannot be detected and installed while the firewall is active.

I had the same problem with a Brother DCP7020 all-in-one printer/scanner. I found a solution, nominally for an MFC-7420, that the original author suggested “...should work for any of the Brother models that use the brscan2 driver.” This proved to be the case for my 7020 and, since your 7040 sounds like a closely-related model, may well be appropriate for you also. The complete set of instructions that I used are posted at: Getting a DCP7020’s scanner to work

I no longer have that printer, so it'd be hard to troubleshoot with you, but a quick Google search led me to this website: sigmdel.ca/michel/program/misc/…

I tried: siren@siren-HP-Pavilion-Desktop-PC-570-p0xx:/usr/lib64$ sudo cp -pr lib* sane /usr/lib [sudo] password for siren: siren@siren-HP-Pavilion-Desktop-PC-570-p0xx:/usr/lib64$ S, I assume it worked but I get the same scanner not found error

sudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/60-libsane1.rules was where the file was located, it seems. I edited it anyway but don't think it worked. It is in /lib64 but SimpleScan still doesn't recognize scanner.

You appear to be using the current version of software from Brother. Are you connecting over a network, and do you have a firewall installed?

I am online with the standard firewall enabled.
– kwalker332

Just for grins, can you disable your firewall for a short time and try the scanner? I use an HP product, which scans just fine but which cannot be detected and installed while the firewall is active.

It didn't give me any noticeable change. I tried unplugging and reattaching the USB cable, running updates and rebooting without getting a scan to run.
