Dee, I have a Brother MFC-J625DW working, both scan and print, over the network, it uses the same brscan4 driver as yours. I had difficulty getting the scanner part working initially also, print worked fine. If I recall from doing it a few months ago, after installing the driver I had to open /etc/sane.d/dll.conf and make sure the net was enabled and add 'brother4' to the end of the scanner list.
