I am not familiar with that particular Brother priinter but in general
they offer linux drives (downloaded from their web site) for every
brother printer I've used (3 or 4, not all) and they all work for me.

go to their page for that printer and find the link for Linux drivers.
should be a single download that is a tool that grabs the right driver
files and installs them for you.

good luck!

It was not so clear the support for Linux and in particular the support related to scanner functionalities.

At the end I found a good offer for a Hp Laser Jet Pro MFP M130fw and on their site it appeared as supported since 3.17.4 version of hplip.

On my Fedora 28 I have 3.18.6 and I also found very good information at landing page

https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing

After configuring the printer (connected through wifi) with hplip-gui and trying to use simple-scan, it detected that a newer version of the plugin (I didn't understand exactly which plugin it referred), simple-scan was able to scan via network

Let's we see how it will work during time
