I'm using an all-in-one printer scanner (MFC-9120CN) where the printer works but the scanner is not found by any scanning program. Even after installing the proper drivers from the Brother website. I had the problem with LL4 and LL5.
The problem is that the needed files are stored in /usr/lib64/sane and should be (also?) found in /usr/lib/sane. The solution is to create the directory and put a link for each file in /usr/lib64/sane in the new directory, like so (tested in LL5):
Here's a reference for this solution. Some extra steps or other methods are explained, but they're most likely useless or worst (like copying the files to the new directory).
