I got help with my personal bionic issue. It was a missing package:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-
backends/+bug/1728012/comments/237
Anyway, I marked this bug a duplicate of the "support thread" - hope you
don't mind. A fix of the regression is about to make it into bionic, and
as regards support for /usr/lib64/sane, I submitted bug #1835220.

Title:
Ubuntu should support drivers installed to non-multiarch directory
Status in sane-backends package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in sane-backends package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Impact
======
Some manufacturers and vendors distribute their own scanner drivers. Some of
these drivers install to /usr/lib/sane/ instead of the multi-arch directory
Ubuntu uses.
Expected Behavior
================
sane-backends should support the non-multiarch directory too.
Also, some Brother drivers use the /usr/lib64/sane/ directory (as used
in Fedora and RHEL). It would be helpful if Ubuntu supported that
directory too.
Other Info
==========
There is much more discussion about this issue at LP: #1728012
I split this bug off since this is about a single specific issue and that bug
has become more of a support thread.
The multiarch switch seemed to happen in 1.0.22-4 way back in 2011.
I don't know why there seem to be more reports now.
