I have a SCX-3405W All-in-One printer that is connected by usb to a Linux Mint

share it so that any system on my lan can print and scan. I am able to print
from a Linux Mint laptop, but I am unable to scan unless I connect the usb
cable to it. It appears from the following that it sees the 3405W as a scanner:
Interestingly, the "Supported Scanners pages here:

...shows SANE supporting Ethernet, but this machine AFAICS supports only
WiFi and USB.

scanimage doesn't see it though:

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
How should I proceed?
For a scanner that has no network option, there is the saned option
which allows non-network scanners to be used over the network.
If you cannot use the WiFi option, then that might be a way to go. I
don't know this machine, but can it support WiFi and USB simultaneously?
If so, then that might be one way to allow your laptop to connect to it.
Failing that, you can enable saned on the machine that is USB connected
to the device. This will expose the scanner on the network so that your
laptop can pick it up.
If you want help with that, if you reply to the list, then I'm sure
someone can help you set it up.
Cheers,
Ralph
