Hi francois.
You forgot activate and run avahi service >>>Printing and scanning with a brother printer MFC-7860DW : porteus 5.x (Пост Blaze #93351)
and yes, you need 07-printing-lxde-lxqt-openbox-xfce-x86_64 module if you use these DE.
Thanks.

Printing and scanning with a brother printer MFC-7860DW : porteus 5.x
Solved.
All that was finally needed was to select the brother printer at least one time from the dialog box list of simple-scan.
The additional error I had made was to omit your second avahi command, the one for avahidnsconfd:
Thanks so much for that long shut blaze.
You have a lot of patience.

I have been using simple scan under porteus 5.0 for some time. It will take some time finding my printer, but it finds it.
Simple scan under porteus 4.x was a lot faster. How could this be?

I had to reinstall the brother printer. There is no need to start avahi with:
You just have to be patient until the simple-scan proposes the printer in the simple-scan pop-up window. Which could be long.
Thanks.
