There is an excellent article about Brother scanners for Ubuntu, but it is in German. So either use Google translate or maybe some of the German colleagues here on forums could translate the essence of it for you.

Thanks rocky, i shall have a look at this, & cross my fingers that it unveils some hitherto missing gem.
Finally had some time to come back to this. The article is quite good, & told me some stuff i'd not read in other references. I tried those changes, but scanning still fails with the error msg. Bummer.
Totally exasperating. Now giving up on this, with conclusion that Linux & Scanners do not like each other [given same failures with Mint 17/17.1/17.2/17.3 & Maui 2.1/17.03]. Marking original post as "Unsolvable".
