The problem is that by default normal users are not given access to the
device.

Adding this rule to udev (e.g. at the end of file
/etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules) puts all Brother devices into
group "scanner" so that all users who are in the group "scanner" are
able to scan. All human users in Ubuntu are by default members of group
"scanner".

#Brother
SYSFS{idVendor}=="04f9",GROUP="scanner"

This rule would also solve bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
