Brother MFP8710DW on Network connection

Using Brother MFP-8710DW on Network connection using Brother provided SANE driver.. Scanner is available to scanimage -L, Simple Scan as well as xsane but not to AirSane.
I was able to use AirSane successfully with a USB scanner of a different model, so I know the installation works.
I tried to set airsaned --local-scanners-only=false but it just hangs in the terminal and never finishes. I think this option is for SANE shared scanners only anyway, but not sure.
I would try this as a WSD scanner but the driver Airsane/SCL driver that supports this scanner under WSD has a very limited feature set on this scanner.
Can the scanner be manually set?
No, the scanner cannot be set manually. If it is not recognized by SANE, it is not seen by AirSane either. It could be a permission problem, as AirSane runs under a different user account (saned) than yours (which you presumably used when running scanimage -L etc).
So I ran
sudo -u saned scanimage -L
And the brother scanner shows there
