Have you checked "Install Drivers", you can type this from the menu... It may listed under additional.
Also try searching synaptic for brother? I'm not at my LL box so I cannot confirm whats listedSad
- may want to try searching "scanner" for a generic driver???

It does look like Brother has Linux drivers available from their site...

Consider this http://askubuntu.com/questions/620701/brother-dcp-j4120dw-will-not-print-on-ubuntu-14-04-1.

There are instructions for getting it to scan and print at that link.
