Hi there

After a fresh Mint 19.3 Cinnamon install, my old Brother DCP130C still working for printing but scanner functionality was stuck.
I found this closed thread about a different model name and previous Mint release but the tip is good : (RESOLVED) Mint 19 Cinnamon with Brother MFC-J870 printer/scanner.

You can use the Brother Driver Install Tool, this tool will install LPR, CUPSwrapper driver and scanner driver BUT the scanner will not work in user or sudo mode.

Don't read the obsoletes solutions from Brother FAQ.

Please follow the nkoropoff advice :

Code: Select all

a) 'sudo ln -sfr /usr/lib64/libbrscandec* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu'
b) 'sudo ln -sfr /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-brother* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane'

Thanks a lot, this works ! No need to logout
