Simple-scan cannot see LAN Brother MFC-9840CDW

I've tried to get my brother scanner working in 17.10 and have not succeeded with successive installs of just the scanner driver.

I think that the problem lies in the scanner drivers and suggest that you get in touch with Brother to fix this problem. Good luck

mdooley, and others, thanks for taking a look.

I have asked Brother about the drivers and a possible new version. Guess I better not hold my breath.

If I just want to install 16.04, is that easy to do without overwriting my home directory data?

Thanks again.
