Thread: Brother scanner stopped working after upgrade to 11.04

i have brother mfc j630w working on wifi, multifunction device including printer , scanner. used work until upgraded 11.04 few months ago.

printer still works , has been working well. scanner part not.

right after upgrade, not identify device. reinstalled driver brother's website , see it, doesn't work.

when try

brsaneconfig3 -q

i get

devices on network
0 scanner "mfc-j630w" i:193.168.1.66

when try

brscan-skey -l

i get

scanner : brother3:net1;dev0 : 193.168.1.66 not responded

when try

simple-scan -d

and try scan, get
