I have a Brother DCP-7055W all-in-one laser printer and scanner, connected by Wifi to my LAN. The printer works perfectly, and the scanner worked at least up until a couple of weeks ago when I last used it. Now, it seems to have disappeared. Both simple-scan and scanimage report no scanners found.
I've reinstalled the RPM package downloaded from brother.com. I've rebooted Fedora (you never know). I've also checked that the scanner itself is working (from a Windows laptop).
What else can I try?
FWIW, I have Centos-7, which is kept up to day, and a brother dcp-7065DN, which is on the LAN, via cat5 not wireless. when I start up Xsane, it scans for devices then reports the brother DCP-7065DN as found. Though, gotta admit, I haven't used it to do an actual scan in some time, so who knows if it actually works.
which makes me wonder if it is actually connected via wireless, or only should be...: can you ping the device?
