Thanks to Kate Draven for her response off-list. I installed
<foomatic-db-engine> package and this has solved the problem.

I really couldn't say André. I was very much on a
learning curve here :-)
"foomatic-db-engine" works only for printers.
Because, many people tell me that with the last Ubuntu 17 version,
and Debian 9 Stretch, the Brother printers cannot work anymore,
or also the scanner with the printer Brother.
This is a problem.

two separate manufacturer driver packages, but got everything more-or-less

Brother provides its own Linux drivers, although some
of them aren't very
good. Have you tried checking their website? Or the lists at
openprinting.org? What model is your printer?
(I set up a Brother colour laser multifunction printer recently.

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).
So, to follow...

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).
Thanks,

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:
http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadlist.aspx?c=us_ot&lang=en&pr…
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.
