Brother DCP-145c network scanning [brscan3]

hi there.

i got an old brother dcp-145c which i connected to a pogoplug running cups. printing over LAN works just fine. But I cannot seem to get network-scans to work. Tried following the wiki without any success.
I guess since there are specific "brscanX-network" packages in aur, network scanning might not even work with brscan3-package? But why isn't there any brscan3-network-package out there?

Maybe somebody can help. Thank you

install brscan3 from AUR

find how your model is called with brsaneconfig3 -q
sudo brsaneconfig3 -a name=Scanner model=[scanner model from previous step] ip=[scanner IP]

start scanning!

very strange, it worked for me just fine, try looking into your journald log, perhaps something's amiss?
