I have no Brother printer and scanner, these are
two friends.
The problem appeared since the migration Ubuntu 16 to 17.
For one, I will ask him the model of his printer,
and the other one, it's a Brother scanner and doesn't find a solution.
(printer multi-function). André
Here is the printer :
Brother DCP 1512 (laser black multifonction)
(no module with Ubuntu 17), Here the scanner :
Brother DCP-195C
(no module with Ubuntu 17).
This one works with the Brother scanner driver "brscan3", judging from its
Gentoo
package. The DCP-195C isn't specifically listed on Brother's page that I can
find,
but this machine uses the same scanner driver:

You should be able to download .debs from those pages. It might also be worth
trying setting up the DCP 1512's printer half as a generic Postcript printer, as
Brother's drivers don't always work well with current versions of CUPS. The
scanner drivers were OK for me, though.
