$ lsusb | grep Brother
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 04f9:01ab Brother Industries, Ltd MFC-240C
$ ls -l /dev/bus/usb/001/004
crw-rw-r-- 1 root lp 189, 3 mar 12 11:01 /dev/bus/usb/001/004

Yes, both simple-scan and xsane stop working; please see attached
screenshots.

"scanimage -L" keeps working without the lp group (also without sudo)
but apparently there is more into it.
