problems Ubuntu 17.10 and scanner
I upgraded from Ubuntu 17.04 to Ubuntu 17.10 and my scanner (Brother DCP150C) doesn't work anymore.
I installed it again with no problems, but still the message that I get is that the drivers are not installed. I can assure you that driver are installed by running the command dpkg -l | grep Brother.
In previous editions of Ubuntu, I had to go, later, to /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules and add something to this file. Now, I tried to do the same, but I cannot find the 40-libsane.rules there.
Can anybody please give a a hint on this?

I installed libsane1 and sane-utils fom artful-proposal.
Then I recognized that "sudo scanimage -L" worked, but "scanimage -L" without sudo did not work.
So I created /etc/udev/rules.d/55-libsane.rules with the content:
SYSFS{idVendor}=="04b8", MODE="0666", GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
Where "04b8" is the USB id of the scanner manufacturer epson. If you have a brother scanner, you have to replace this id with the one scanimage prints out.

Thanks JMS. Sorry for having answered only now. I tried that you suggested. My "idVendor" is "04f9". It simply doesn't work. My scanner is never recognized. The printer goes perfectly OK.

This solved my problem. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/sane. Read the section on Brother scanners. Once I entered the network configuration it worked.
I used the brscan4 tool on a 64 bit system. The correct driver in my case was brscan4-0.4.4-4.amd64. The page from which I downloaded was:

Complete step-by-step:
http://abhweb.org/jima/brother-scanner-not-recognized-ubuntu-17.10.php
In summary, manually force-install brscan4 and then run brsaneconfig4 to register scanners. libusb-1.0-0 must also be installed, which it is by default in Ubuntu 17.10
sudo dpkg -i --force-all brscan4*.deb
sudo brsaneconfig4 -a name=friendlyname model=model ip=static_ip_of_scanner
(Older models need brscan or brscan2/3 instead of brscan4)
I recommend using a static IP instead of relying on auto-detect, which still seems flakey.
The problem is that the brscan4 .deb has a dependency on "libusb" but there is no such package in Ubuntu 17.10. However there is a "libusb-1.0-0" which seems to work. The name change means that package brscan4 won't install normally, and Brother's "Driver Install Tool" sees the error and doesn't configure a scanner.

Dear jimav: I tried it but it says there is no brscan2 file or directory installed. I tried with brscan, brscan1, brscan3 and it was the same. However, yes, there is a "libusb-1.0-0" directory. Thanh you so much for your concern. I think I will wait for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS release and upgrade to it. Then I will try to re-install the scanner and see what happens. But THANKS again.

I installed libsane1 and sane-utils fom artful-proposal.
Then I recognized that "sudo scanimage -L" worked, but "scanimage -L" without sudo did not work.
So I created /etc/udev/rules.d/55-libsane.rules with the content:
SYSFS{idVendor}=="04b8", MODE="0666", GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
Where "04b8" is the USB id of the scanner manufacturer epson. If you have a brother scanner, you have to replace this id with the one scanimage prints out.

In summary, manually force-install brscan4 and then run brsaneconfig4 to register scanners. libusb-1.0-0 must also be installed, which it is by default in Ubuntu 17.10
sudo dpkg -i --force-all brscan4*.deb

(Older models need brscan or brscan2/3 instead of brscan4)
I recommend using a static IP instead of relying on auto-detect, which still seems flakey.
The problem is that the brscan4 .deb has a dependency on "libusb" but there is no such package in Ubuntu 17.10. However there is a "libusb-1.0-0" which seems to work.
