Appears you are using the Brothers drivers? I have a Brothers printer ( 
MFC J6710DW). It works with Gimp scan, and with the brscan-skey mode. 
But Xsane will not start it. This used to work before the latest xsane 
updates from openSUSE 13.1.

Does scanimage reconize it? Did you 

[Code]

scanimage -L
device `brother4:bus3;dev5' is a Brother MFC-J6710DW USB scanner

[/Code]

also make sure there is an entry at the end of sane.dll.
[Code]
 /etc/sane.d/dll.conf

Mine is:
#xerox_mfp

brother4 (name of printer)

[/Code]

Also when I install mine the first time I found the Product ID missing 
for the printer in /etc/udev/rules.d/55-libsane.rules.

I think this is the same as your 80-libsane.rules. My /lib/udev/rules.d 
does not have the libsane rule in it. This is probably one of the 
differences between openSUSE and Slackware. I am using the Brscan4 
stuff.

In the next few days I will install this in openSUSE 13.2 RC.

Hope this may help you.
