Printserver boxes provide only some kind of unidirectional data transfer from the computer to the printer so that plain printing usually works but usually nothing else. As far as I know only HP Jetdirect printservers provide additionally some SNMP stuff to get HP printer device status and whatever else is needed so that in particular HP's own HPLIP printer/scanner driver software can use HP all-in-one devices for printing, device status, scanning, faxing,... For scanning you need a full bidirectional communication between computer and device. In your case this means you should connect the device directly via USB to the computer at least for a test to find out if whatever scanner driver software you use (perhaps you need whatever driver from Brother) works at all. If it works via direct USB connection, you may experiment with your particular printserver box to find out to what extent it supports bidirectional communication to the device.
