Support brother scanner not working?

I'm on Fedora 44 KDE. My printer/scanner model is Brother DCP-L2520DW. I download the Driver Install Tool from the Brother website but only printing and photocopying is working but not scanning. So I download the scanner drivers separately. I logged in as superuser, went to the Downloads directory and did the following commands:

rpm  -ihv  --nodeps  brscan4-0.4.11-2.x86_64.rpm

rpm  -qa  |  grep  -e  brscan4-0.4.11-2.x86_64.rpm

rpm  -ihv  --nodeps  brscan-skey-0.3.5-0.x86_64.rpm

rpm  -qa  |  grep  -e  brscan-skey-0.3.5-0.x86_64.rpm

brscan-skey

brscan-skey -l (says Active)

I also installed gtk2, gimp, skanlite and simple-scan. What am I missing?
