Hi Staedtler, bingo it is. I did try what You suggest, no joy, but the information that You collected (and that I couldn't even imagine of), have put me on the right track. Here's what works for me:
1) I created a /etc/udev/hwdb.d/brother4.hwdb file with the lines usb:v04F9p035D* libsane_matched=yes where the file is named after the backend, v049f is vendor ID, and p035d is product ID; those may very well change for other scanners :-) 2) edited the file /etc/sane.d/dll.d/libsane-extras and added the line brother4 this may very well change for other backends :-)) no need for the brother-udev-rule-type1 package, nor for Your clever hack, which has been a good catch anyway. I did not investigate on permissions, but I may! HTH with other scanners too. Thanks for engaging into this all.
