I don't know how the OP installed the Brother drivers, but there are two ways: one is detailed with lots of tweaks you need to make, and the other is relatively trivial.
You can either:
- download the individual driver files and hack your system
according to the instructions on the site, or 2. download a single installer file that asks you questions then downloads and installs the driver files for you. After that you can use whatever app you use on that system to set up a printer. On Centos I usually use the print settings tool (though you should be able to use CUPs on port 631 instead.)
Thanks for the input. I had originally tried to install with the installer script, but for some reason it wanted to install .deb packages on my Fedora system, so I abandoned it and installed the rpms directly.
Now I went back to the script and hacked it a bit to always go with rpms and then ran it. And now the scanner works :)
