Network Brother 465cn Scanner Problem

[Chuck Fullerton]

Scanning and printing are usually 2 different ports I believe.. but I don't
remember which one Scanning is.

I have tried running the scan key tool and the brsaneconfig2 command as 
root using sudo. I also tried connecting to the Brother device on port 
9100 which is the port that network printing to the device uses.
Still no luck in scanning to it over the network.
