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.
