Greenbeans solved it by suggesting to use the printer installer package instead installing the drivers themselves.

Thank you so much everyone !!

@greenjeans

Thanks, Xsane also fails.

@ralph.ronnquist

I think you have led me to find some mistakes. I think instead of the one line, I am missing comas and according to others it should be:

ATTR{idVendor}=="0x04f9",
ATTR{idProduct}=="0x0330",
GROUP:="scanner", Mode:="660"

Now, I don't really know what I am doing here. Monkey see, monkey do smile 

Still not working though

Hi there

Neither Sane nor Simple Scan detect my brother all-in-one scanner HL L2380DW . I can print fine.

I am on Devuan GNU/Linux 1.0 (jessie), Mate desktop.

The drivers are installed:

dpkg -l | grep Brother
ii  brgenml1lpr                                                 3.1.0-1                                    i386         Brother BrGenML1 LPR driver
ii  brscan-skey                                                 0.2.4-1                                    amd64        Brother Linux scanner S-KEY tool
ii  brscan4                                                     0.4.4-3                                    i386         Brother Scanner Driver
ii  printer-driver-brlaser                                      3-3                                        amd64        printer driver for (some) Brother laser printers
ii  printer-driver-ptouch                                       1.3-8                                      amd64        printer driver Brother P-touch label printers

Sane only detects the scanner as root even though I added my user to the scanner group

sudo sane-find-scanner
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04f9 [Brother], product=0x0330 [HL-L2380DW]) at libusb:006:002

As per internet instructions I created a file: /etc/udev/rules.d/10-scanner.rules with the following lines:

ATTR{idVendor}=="0x04f9"
ATTR{idProduct}=="0x0330"
GROUP:="scanner"

I would appreciate some help. thanks !
