sane doesn't recognize Brother DCP-115C

Hi, I am trying to use my scanner, a Brother DCP-115C, with arch. I installed "brscan2-network" from AUR, ran the "/usr/local/Brother/sane/setupSaneScan1 -i" command (as the wiki page suggests) which successfully added the line "brother2" to "/etc/sane.d/dll.conf". "/usr/lib/libsane-brother2.so" is present.

I tried plugging the scanner in repeatedly, but "scanimage -L" always says

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

Some output:
lsusb:

...
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 04f9:018c Brother Industries, Ltd DCP-115C

What can I do to make the scanner work?

/e: One more output:

  # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the

  # Also you need support for SCSI Generic (sg) in your operating system.
  # If using Linux, try "modprobe sg".
