I have a Brother MFC-J1300DW printer/scanner on my local network, So this maybe just a solution for that model, While there is currently no drivers for that particular model in the repository, Solus does automatically pick it up using driverless drivers. The issue I was having that after the printer went to sleep I couldn't get it scan even tho simple-scan detected the printer after setting up brsaneconfig4(Here) what I found I need to do was ping the printer ip before opening simple-scan to scan something, so if anyone else is having this issue you can make a bash script that firsts ping the ip address of the printer(bring out of sleep) then open simple-scan. I don't know if its only this model that has the issue but this ping fix seems to fix it, atleast until Solus devs can included the drivers in the repository(requested nearly 2 years ago)
