Every time I restart my router or for other reasons my printer changes its IP and I can't print or scan anymore. Setting up the printer is straightforward but the scanner not so much.

How can I reregister the scanner under the correct IP?

The printer/scanner is a Brother MFC-J480DW.

1) Look up on network and set up using the regular printers tool. Copy its IP.

2) Identify possibly already registered scanner:

$ brsaneconfig4 -q | tail
414 "MFC-7460DN"
415 "MFC-7360"
416 "MFC-7860DN"
417 "DCP-7065DN"
418 "DCP-7060D"
419 "DCP-7055"

Devices on network
  0 MFC-J480DW          "MFC-J480DW"        I:192.168.1.2

3) Remove scanner:

brsaneconfig4 -r MFC-J480DW

4) Reregister scanner with correct IP:

brsaneconfig4 -a name=MFC-J480DW model=MFC-J480DW ip=192.168.1.3
