Hi all, Brother MFC-1910W, new Ubuntu Mate 19.04 install, Brother drivers from https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadend.aspx?c=as_ot&lang=en&prod=mfc1910w_eu_as&os=128&dlid=dlf006893_000&flang=4&type3=625&dlang=true at first the scanner was not detected, my previous workaround involving libsane-extras is not an option anymore, since the package has been pulled out. What I did is:
1) created the file /etc/udev/hwdb.d/brother4.hwdb with the lines usb:v04F9p035D* libsane_matched=yes 2) created the file /etc/sane.d/dll.d/brother4 with the line brother4 the scanner works with no further tinkering, creating symlinks and the like.

But the scanner is no more recognized. Scanners that are affected are(besides others): - Epson Perfection V10 - Epson Perfection V1000 - Epson WorkForce GT-1500 - Brother MFC-8510DN - Epson Perfection V33 It is to note that the probability that the scanner manufacturers fix things others broke is below 100%.
