@ PeterPall: regarding the Epson scanner, yes it could be the firmware

warming up longer than usual and not catching up, but I allowed time and
it finally went through, so You may very well be right. I did not run

Hi Peter, if the above is addressed to me, the Epson scanner works for regular

After a bunch of Bionic updates the Brother MFC 1910W scanner gave up
working; I have had to install the libsane-extras package and add the
line "brother4" to the file /etc/sane.d/dll.d/libsane-extras to regain
control of the device. Weird enough the Epson scanner wasn't affected by
the updates.
Clean Ubuntu bionic install, the Brother4 worked out or the box, while
the Epson iscan needed the well known workaround.

Double checked, brscan4 symlinks required! To sum it up:
a) install libsane-extras
b) install brscan4
c) 'sudo ln -sfr /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-brother*
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane'
d) execute 'lsusb' to get VendorId (04f9) and ProductID

Hi Staedtler, attached is the diff file, it's beyond my understanding

My bad: the 'ENV' line is on by default, not the 'SYMLINK', my
apologies. Following is the content of the 60-brother-mfp-type1.rules

options at the bottom doesn't make any difference: the scanner only
works with xsane as true root.
Hi Staedtler, did that, and fought with several rules files before to no
