- sudo pacman -S cups
- sudo systemctl enable org.cups.cupsd.service
- sudo systemctl start org.cups.cupsd.service
- open localhost:631 in webbrowser

- check if scanner is recognised: scanimage --list-devices
- scan a test page: scanimage --device 'brother4:net1;dev0' > /tmp/test.pnm
- optionally install a frontend, for example: yaourt gscan2pdf
Thanks for documenting this! It did the trick for me!
