Is this a network printer? Did you configure your scanner client 
settings with brsaneconfig[1-4]? For example:
http://support.brother.com/g/s/id/linux/en/instruction_scn1b.html?c=nz&lang=en&prod=mfcl2740dw_us_eu_as&redirect=on

 From my MFC-L2740DW on unstable amd64, I ran:

brsaneconfig4 -a name="Brother MFC-L2740DW" model=MFC-L2740DW ip=192.168.1.2

The scanner was then correctly detected in xsane.

I am using:

brscan-skey-0.2.4-1.amd64.deb
brscan4-0.4.3-0.amd64.deb
mfcl2740dwcupswrapper-3.2.0-1.i386.deb
mfcl2740dwlpr-3.2.0-1.i386.deb

Kind regards,
