@luca.mg Your suggestion in comment #157 worked! I had to install libsane-extras (and libsane-common) using Synaptic Package Manager. Not sure why those weren't already part of the install. I also added the line "brother4" to the file /etc/sane.d/dll.d/libsane-extras. Now my home wifi networked Brother MFC-J470DW scanner (brscan4) shows up and works with XSANE and Simple Scan! Thank you!
