Scanner error - Failed to open a connection to the device (-21345)

After MacOS Sequoia v15 update, the image Scanner is no longer working. The error message says "Failed to open a connection to the device (-21345)"

I have a Mac, wirelessly connected to a Brother MFC-J985DW printer. Using Sequoia operating system.

Tried unplugging printer, printer power cable, and then replugging everything after several minutes. No luck.

Finally I found the following solution that worked for me:

1. go to the System Settings:
2. Click on Privacy & Security
3. Click Local Network
4. Enable the printer / scanner that was throwing error.
